Emergency Funding for Child Protection and Family Support
This act allocates $1.5 billion to support child protection and abuse prevention programs. These funds will help social workers safely connect with families, provide psychological and material support, and strengthen local aid programs. The goal is to protect children and support families, especially during the pandemic.
Key points
500 million dollars for social worker support: purchase of protective equipment, technology for remote visits, training, and assistance with access to health and educational services for children.
1 billion dollars for child abuse prevention programs: support for community organizations, purchase of basic necessities for families, financial aid, and increased hotline accessibility.
2 million dollars for the national child abuse hotline: increased staffing and operating hours to ensure better access to help.
No state matching funds required: states and territories will receive funds without needing to contribute their own money.
