Fingerprinting Infrastructure Modernization for Child WelfareThe Fingerprinting Infrastructure Modernization for Child Welfare program supports state and tribal child welfare agencies in upgrading their fingerprinting and background check systems to speed up the approval of caregivers and expeditesafe placements for children. Funding is directed toward deploying mobile fingerprinting units and office-based Live Scan stations to integrate fingerprint collection directly into existing child welfare processes like home visits and licensing workflows. This modernization aims to eliminate systemic delays that have historically slowed caregiver approvals, reducing administrative burdens while ensuring compliance with federal standards. The initiative is designed to deliver measurable improvements in background check processing times, increase the number of qualified caregivers available for placement, and enhance the overall capacity of agencies to place children in stable, nurturing homes more quickly. These efforts align with the Administration for Children and Families’ A Home for Every Child initiative, strengthening the broader child welfare system by expanding access to kinship, foster, and adoptive families and promoting placement stability through more efficient, integrated infrastructure. The program is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families, with inquiries directed to Brian Lerner at cb@grantreview.org.
