Grants would help foster care programs keep sibling groups together.
This bill would set up a new grant program to help foster care agencies. These grants would let them create special programs. These programs would help keep certain groups of brothers and sisters together in foster care. This includes large families, siblings with big age gaps, or children with special needs. The goal is for more foster children to stay with their siblings.
Today, there may not be enough specialized foster care programs designed to keep certain sibling groups together, which can lead to brothers and sisters being separated. If this bill becomes law, the federal government would offer up to five competitive grants, totaling $10 million over five years, to organizations that want to create programs specifically for large sibling groups, those with wide age ranges, or those with complex needs, helping more siblings stay together.
