Whereas on average, the Nation’s foster care system provides 
for nearly 500,000 children each day who are unable to 
live safely with their biological parents; 
Whereas there is a shortage of foster parents and great need 
for their services, as there are fewer than 3 foster homes 
for every 10 children in care; 
Whereas foster parents are the most frontline caregiver for 
children who cannot safely remain with their biological 
parents and provide physical care, emotional support, 
education advocacy, and are the largest single source of 
families providing permanent homes for kids leaving fos-
ter care to adoption; 
Whereas 273,000 children entered the foster care system dur-
ing fiscal year 2008 and an average of 123,000 children 
were waiting to be adopted every day; 
Whereas almost 55,000 children were adopted out of foster 
care in fiscal year 2008, but the number of children 
‘‘aging out’’ of the foster care system without finding a 
permanent family increased to an all-time high of nearly 
30,000 in fiscal year 2008; 
Whereas children ‘‘aging out’’ of foster care need and deserve 
a support system as they work to secure affordable hous-
(2) any barriers in access to care and participa-
tion in clinical trials that are specific to racial mi-
norities. 
(d) GRANTS.—The Secretary shall establish a pro-

have been possible in the absence of the activi-
ties conducted by such grantee. 
(g) MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT.—With respect to ac-
tivities for which a grant under this section is authorized, 
the Secretary may award such a grant only if the applicant

tures of non-Federal funds for such activities at a level 
that is not less then the level of such expenditures during 
the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year for 
which the applicant is applying to receive such grant. 
(h) TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.—The Secretary may 
provide any entity that receives a grant under this section 
with technical and other nonfinancial assistance necessary 
to meet the requirements of this section. The Secretary 
may choose to provide such assistance by awarding a grant 
to, or entering into a contract with, a State or national 
not-for-profit organization with expertise in building suc-
cessful community coalitions.
