Title IV-E Foster Care Program Description
The Foster Care Program helps States to provide safe and stable out-of home care for children until the children are safely returned home, placed permanently with adoptive families or placed in other planned arrange- ments for permanency.

State Paid Foster Care may be funded with Federal Block Grant (TANF).
