About the Administration on
Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) |
|
The Administration on Children, Youth and Families
(ACYF) administers the major Federal programs that support: social
services that promote the positive growth and development of children
and youth and their families; protective services and shelter for
children and youth in at-risk situations; child care for working
families and families on public assistance; and adoption for children
with special needs. These programs provide financial assistance
to states, community-based organizations, and academic institutions
to provide services, carry out research and demonstration activities
and undertake training, technical assistance, and information dissemination.
The Administration on Children, Youth and
Families is a part of the Administration
for Children and Families (ACF), under the Department
of Health and Human Services, and is administered by a Commissioner
who is a Presidential appointee. ACYF is divided into four Bureaus,
each of which is responsible for different issues involving children,
youth and families and a cross-cutting unit responsible for research
and evaluation. Each of ACYF's Bureaus is headed by an Associate
Commissioner. In addition, the United States and its territories
are divided into 10 geographic regions, each having an office responsible
for administering some of ACYF's programs located in that region.
