The Family Strengthening Infrastructure Act of 2024 provides $250 million annually for each fiscal year from 2025 through 2034 to strengthen child protection services and child abuse prevention programs across the country. The funding is divided into two equal parts: $250 million goes to states and territories to improve their child protective services systems, while another $250 million supports community-based programs focused on preventing child abuse and neglect. To receive these federal grants, states must maintain or increase their own spending on these programs compared to the previous year, ensuring continued state commitment to child welfare. The legislation affects all states and territories, as well as community organizations that work to prevent child abuse, and the funds remain available until fully spent rather than expiring at the end of each fiscal year.
