Requesting Unspent Chafee and ETV Funds for FY 2023

This document provides information on how state child welfare agencies can request unspent Chafee funds. This opportunity is available every year, however, this year’s unspent funds include the Division X funds which were allocated in 2021 as pandemic aid for youth in foster care. Because $400 million additional Chafee funds were allocated in 2021 as part of Division X of the Consolidated Appropriation Act, it is likely that more unspent funds will be available than is usual.
