[[Page 62840]]

    The Child Welfare League of America is a recipient of a cooperative 
agreement to administer the National Resource Center for Child Welfare 
Data and Technology (NRC-CWDT) in order to ensure continued support to 
States in the development of the National Youth in Transition Database. 
The National Youth in Transition Database will assist States, Tribes, 
and courts to develop, implement and/or improve effective case 
management information systems, or data collection systems, and to use 
data to manage child welfare programs in order to improve outcomes for 
children, youth, and families.
    Section 477 of the Social Security Act authorizes the John H. 
Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) and the Chafee 
Education and Training Vouchers (ETV) program. It also requires the 
creation of a data collection and performance measurement system. The 
Federal regulation at 45 CFR 1356.80 establishes the National Youth in 
Transition Database (NYTD) implementing this provision. The NYTD 
regulation requires States to engage in two data collection activities: 
the collect of information on youth and the independent living services 
they receive that are paid for or provided by State agencies that 
administer the CFCIP and ETV programs and the collection of outcome 
information on certain youth in foster care. States must begin 
collecting NYTD data on October 1, 2010 and submit the first report 
period data to ACF by May 15, 2011.
    The supplemental funding will allow the NRC-CWDT to meet the 
increased demand for NYTD onsite technical assistance and sponsor 
regional meetings without reducing requested technical assistance from 
courts and Tribes in the areas of data collection and exchange.
