AI Contract Overview
This program aims to enhance adoptive matching, placement, and permanency outcomes for children in foster care awaiting adoption through the use of technology-enabled strategies. Funding will be provided to four regional centers that will collaborate with state, territorial, tribal, and local child welfare agencies and courts. These centers will develop and implement secure, accessible technology solutions designed to improve how families are matched with children needing permanent homes. The solutions must be interoperable with existing systems and may incorporate features such as data-informed recruitment support, AI-assisted matching, and predictive analytics. Each regional center will focus on children with an adoption permanency goal or those legally free for adoption due to child welfare involvement. They will work to strengthen data infrastructure, support continuous quality improvement, and create scalable resources for nationwide adoption. The centers will offer regional innovation support, training, technical assistance, and share best practices while collaborating nationally. The Administration for Children and Families will define four national service regions to ensure complete U.S. coverage. Applicants are expected to demonstrate measurable improvements in match timeliness, placement stability, and adoption finalization outcomes.
