The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), within the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), provides national leadership and creates opportunities for families to lead economically and socially productive lives. ACF's programs are designed to help children to develop into healthy adults and communities to become more prosperous and supportive of their members.
-
ACF is responsible for federal programs that promote the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals and communities. ACF objectives are to:
- empower families and individuals to increase their own economic independence and productivity;
- encourage the development of strong, healthy and supportive communities that have a positive impact on the quality of life and development of children;
- partner with individuals, front-line service providers, communities, American Indian tribes, Native communities, states and Congress to achieve solutions which transcend traditional agency boundaries;
- plan, reform and integrate services to improve needed access; and
- commit to working with people with developmental disabilities, refugees and migrants to address their needs, strengths and abilities.
