The program is funded through formula grants awarded to child welfare agencies in States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and participating Tribes. Chafee funds are used to assist youth/ young adults in a wide variety of areas designed to support a successful transition to adulthood.

Specific services and supports are determined by the child welfare agency, vary by State, locality and agency, and are often based on the individual needs of the young person.
