Under title IV–B, subparts 1 and 2, of
the Social Security Act (the Act), states, territories, and tribes
are required to submit a Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP). The
CFSP lays the groundwork for a system of coordinated, integrated,
and culturally relevant family services for the subsequent five
years (45 CFR 1357.15(a)(1)). The CFSP outlines initiatives and
activities the state, tribe or territory will carry out in
administering programs and services to promote the safety,
permanency, and well-being of children and families, including, as
applicable, those activities conducted under the John H. Chafee
Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Section
477 of the Act) and the state grant authorized by the Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act. By June 30 of each year, states,
territories, and tribes are also required to submit an Annual
Progress and Services Report (APSR) and a financial report called
the CFS–101. The APSR is a yearly report that discusses progress
made by a state, territory or tribe in accomplishing the goals and
objectives cited in its CFSP (45 CFR 1357.16(a)). The APSR contains
new and updated information about service needs and organizational
capacities throughout the five-year plan period and, beginning with
the submission due on June 30, 2021, will also include information
on the use of the Family First Transition Grants and Funding
Certainty Grants authorized by the Family First Transition Act
included in Public Law (Pub. L.)116–94. The CFS–101 has three
parts. Part I is an annual budget request for the upcoming fiscal
year. Part II includes a summary of planned expenditures by program
area for the upcoming fiscal year, the estimated number of
individuals or families to be served, and the geographical service
area. Part III includes actual expenditures by program area,
numbers of families and individuals served by program area, and the
geographic areas served for the last complete fiscal year.
