C. 20201 Last modified on 2025-12-03 07:00:13 Strengthening America’s Families through Strategic Focus The American people have entrusted ACF with significant resources to support vulnerable populations across our nation. This new strategic alignment initiative will coordinate our efforts across all programs to maximize impact.

This approach allows ACF to concentrate funding on proven interventions, address complex human services challenges holistically, and achieve measurable results for children and families in communities throughout America. At ACF, we recognize that vulnerable individuals need paths to economic independence and stronger family units.

In alignment with the Make America Healthy Again vision, we embrace the fundamental principle that the best economic program is a job, and the best social program is a family. Consistent with our vision, ACF is sharpening its focus on improving outcomes in child welfare, strengthening family formation, and enhancing early childhood education.

We are prioritizing work as the primary pathway to self-sufficiency, recognizing that employment not only provides income but instills dignity, responsibility, and opportunity for American families.

We will expand support for proven practices and newly designed programs that promote marriage and family formation, recognizing the critical role of fathers and the importance of two-parent households in fostering economic and social well-being. To ensure accountability to taxpayers, ACF is enhancing its oversight mechanisms and reinforcing fiscal responsibility across all programs.

Each ACF office will evaluate funding allocations through the lens of our strategic objectives. In an environment where worthy activities exceed available funding, this review process is increasingly vital to ensure we make new investments consistent with our priorities and ensure we are paying for real results.

ACF will empower its programs to make funding decisions that reflect our core priorities: promoting quality early learning environments and improved child outcomes, promoting work and self-sufficiency, supporting family formation, ensuring efficient use of taxpayer dollars, and emphasizing personal responsibility.

By establishing clear priorities that align with HHS’ vision for a healthy America, we demonstrate to the American public our serious commitment to earning their trust and investing strategically in our nation's future prosperity.
