Foster Care Stabilization Act of 2023
This bill establishes three $1 million demonstration grants to foster care stabilization agencies, directly aiding foster youth under age 26 who are waiting for placement. The grants fund emergency relief like clothing (capped at $250 per youth annually), food, personnel, and abuse prevention services to improve pre-placement support. Agencies must use funds within three years and report on how grants reduced home transfers, provided necessities, and impacted youth outcomes. The law requires public application postings with special outreach to rural and tribal communities, and mandates annual congressional reporting on grant usage and youth case evaluations.
