SUMMARY:Tribal Consultations on the Implementation of the “Supporting America’s Children and Families Act”
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader: \nThe Administration on Children\, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Children’s Bureau (CB) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) recognize the central role that Tribal Nations play in the care and protection of children and families. To advance our collaborative efforts to that end\, we extend an invitation to participate in formal tribal consultation on the “Supporting America’s Children and Families Act\,” (Public Law 118-258)\, which reauthorized Title IV-B of the Social Security Act (Act). \nConsultation will focus on the changes to title IV-B of the Act\, listed in detail in attached documents\, and how they may impact Tribes. In summary\, the focus areas are the Indian Child Welfare Act\, title IV-B funding for child welfare agencies\, the Court Improvement Program and remote hearings\, and the Prevention Services Clearinghouse. \nWe are soliciting your input as we value your perspectives and experiences\, which are crucial as we work together to implement the Act. The consultation is intended to create meaningful opportunity for dialogue that enhances the effectiveness of child welfare services for Tribal Nations and the people they serve. \nWe look forward to hearing from you at one or more of the following sessions: \nCONSULTATION #1 – MINNESOTA\nDate: August 25\, 2025\nType: In-person and Virtual (Hybrid) Tribal Consultation\nTime: 1 – 4 PM Central Time\nIn-Person Location: Grand Casino Mille Lacs\, 777 Grand Avenue\, Onamia\, MN 56359\nRSVP for In-Person Participation: Tribal Consultation In-Person RSVP\nZoom Registration for Virtual Participation: Zoom Link Registration \nCONSULTATION #2 – SOUTH DAKOTA\nDate: October 10\, 2025\nType: In-person\nTime: 1- 3 PM Mountain Time\nIn-Person Location: DoubleTree by Hilton Rapid City Downtown Convention Center\, 505 N. 5th Street\, Rapid City\, SD 57701\nRSVP for In-Person Participation: Tribal Consultation In-Person RSVP \nCONSULTATION #3 – ALASKA\nDate: October 14\, 2025\nType: In-person\nTime: 1:30 – 5 PM Alaska Daylight Time\nIn-Person Location: Hilton Anchorage\, 500 West Third Avenue\, Anchorage\, Alaska 99501\nRSVP for In-Person Participation: Tribal Consultation In-Person RSVP \nCONSULTATION #4 – WASHINGTON\nDate: November 18\, 2025\nType: In-person and Virtual (Hybrid)\nTime: 10 AM – 3 PM Pacific Time\nIn-Person Location: University of Washington School of Social Work -3rd floor Conference Room\, 4101 15th Ave NE\, Seattle\, WA 98105\nRSVP for In-Person Participation: Tribal Consultation In-Person RSVP\nZoom Registration for Virtual Participation: Zoom Link Registration \nCONSULTATION #5 – WASHINGTON DC\nDate: December 2\, 2025\nType: In-person\nTime: 2 PM – 5 PM Eastern Time\nIn-Person Location: Mary E Switzer Building\n330 C Street\nWashington DC 20201\nRSVP for In-Person Participation by November 25\, 2025: Tribal Consultation In-Person RSVP\n**This is a Federal Building – Please be prepared to present valid ID to meet security requirements for building entrance. \nWritten comments may also be submitted to TribalConsultationACYF@acf.hhs.gov by January 9\, 2026.
