Grant Overview
Indiana foster youth transition programs face operational constraints tied to the state's county-administered child welfare system. Each of Indiana's 92 counties maintains separate case management protocols, requiring providers to negotiate access agreements individually rather than through a single state contract.
Workforce distribution shows pronounced shortages outside Marion and Allen counties. Licensed clinical social workers authorized to deliver independent living skills assessments number fewer than eight per county in 71 rural counties, according to Indiana Professional Licensing Agency data.
Financial literacy training requirements must align with Indiana Department of Child Services policies on allowable expenditures from the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program. Programs may not duplicate existing state-contracted services already funded in the same county.
Operational readiness documentation includes current memoranda of understanding with each county department of child services office in the proposed service region. These agreements must specify data-sharing protocols compliant with Indiana Code 31-25-2-11 regarding confidentiality of case records.
Vehicle and facility standards for life skills training sites must meet Indiana Department of Child Services residential facility inspection criteria even when services occur in non-residential settings. Insurance certificates must list each participating county as an additional insured.
Unlike Ohio programs that can centralize operations through a single state agency contract, Indiana requires separate county-level operational approvals because child welfare case management authority remains decentralized at the county level.
