What it does
The Support for Expectant and Parenting Foster Youth Act would amend the Social Security Act to improve services for youth who have experienced foster care and are expectant or parenting by requiring states to connect them with evidence-based home visiting and support services through the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. It mandates that states certify they have processes to inform eligible youth about these services and allows funding to be used for tailored case management and resource coordination. The amendments would take effect one year after enactment and apply to federally approved state plans thereafter.
