The program helps States develop or operate coordinated family-support, preservation, reunification, and adoption-support services with four stated objectives.

The program enables States to develop, establish, expand, and operate coordinated community-based family-support, family-preservation, family-reunification, and adoption-promotion and support services. Its objectives are: (1) prevent child maltreatment in at-risk families through supportive services; (2) keep children safe at home and preserve families when their problems can be effectively addressed; (3) address families’ problems after children enter foster care so reunification can happen safely and stably under the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997; and (4) support adoptive families with services they need to make a lifetime commitment to their children.
