(a) Purpose
The purpose
of this section is to provide States with flexible
funding that will enable programs to be
designed and conducted -
(1) to identify children who are likely
to remain in foster
care until 18 years of age and to help
these children make the
transition to
self-sufficiency by providing services such as
assistance in
obtaining a high school diploma, career
exploration,
vocational training, job placement and retention,
training in
daily living skills, training in budgeting and
financial
management skills, substance abuse prevention, and
preventive
health activities (including smoking avoidance,
nutrition
education, and pregnancy prevention);
(2)
to help children who are likely to remain in foster care
until 18 years
of age receive the education, training, and
services
necessary to obtain employment;
(3)
to help children who are likely to remain in foster care
until 18 years
of age prepare for and enter postsecondary
training and
education institutions;
(4)
to provide personal and emotional support to children aging
out of foster

interactions with
dedicated adults;
(5)
to provide financial, housing, counseling, employment,
education, and
other appropriate support and services to former
foster
care recipients between 18 and 21 years of age to
complement their
own efforts to achieve self-sufficiency and to
assure that
program participants recognize and accept their
personal
responsibility for preparing for and then making the
transition from
adolescence to adulthood; and

to make available vouchers for education and training,
including
postsecondary training and education, to youths who
have aged out of
foster care.

2425, provided that:
"Notwithstanding section 477(d)(3) of the
Social Security Act [subsec.
(d)(3) of this section], payments made
to a State under section 477
of such Act for fiscal year 2000 shall
remain available for expenditure
by the State through fiscal year
2002."
FINDINGS
Pub. L. 106-169,
title I, Sec. 101(a),
1823, provided that:
"The Congress finds the following:
"(1) States are required to make reasonable efforts to find
adoptive
families for all children, including older children, for
whom
reunification with their biological family is not in the
best interests
of the child. However, some older children will
continue to live
in foster care. These children should be
enrolled in an
Independent Living program designed and conducted
by State and
local government to help prepare them for
employment,
postsecondary education, and successful management of
adult
responsibilities.
"(2) Older children who continue to be in foster care
as
adolescents may
become eligible for Independent Living programs.
These Independent
Living programs are not an alternative to
adoption for
these children. Enrollment in Independent Living
programs can
occur concurrent with continued efforts to locate
and achieve
placement in adoptive families for older children in
foster
care.
"(3) About 20,000 adolescents leave the Nation's foster
care
system each year
because they have reached 18 years of age and
are expected to
support themselves.
"(4) Congress has received extensive information that
adolescents
leaving foster care have significant difficulty
making a
successful transition to adulthood; this information
shows that
children aging out of foster care show high rates of
homelessness,
non-marital childbearing, poverty, and delinquent
or criminal
behavior; they are also frequently the target of
crime and
physical assaults.
"(5) The Nation's State and local governments, with financial
support from the
Federal Government, should offer an extensive
program of
education, training, employment, and financial support
for young adults
leaving foster care, with participation in such
program
beginning several years before high school graduation and
continuing, as
needed, until the young adults emancipated from
foster
care establish independence or reach 21 years of age."
STUDY
Section 8002(d)
of Pub. L. 101-239 provided that:
"(1) Study.
- The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall
study the programs
authorized under section 477 of the Social
Security Act [this section]
for the purposes of evaluating the
effectiveness of the
programs. The study shall include a comparison
of outcomes of children who
participated in the programs and a
comparable group of children
who did not participate in the
programs.
"(2)
Report. - Upon completion of the study, the Secretary shall
issue a report to the
Committee on Finance of the Senate and the
Committee on Ways and Means
of the House of Representatives."
