Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program provides a maximum of $505 million for the four core services. This funding is used for state programs that assist in family reunification, family support, adoption support and family preservation. Of the $505 million $305 million a year is provided in mandatory funding (funding that does not require an annual approval by Congress). The law also allows Congress to appropriate an additional $200 million a year for a possible total of $505 million.
PSSF also provides an additional $40 million a year in mandatory funds that are designated for two programs, one to address substance abuse and one to address child welfare workforce development. Finally, PSSF includes two $10 million a year programs targeted to state court improvements and coordination with the state child welfare system.
