EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mission
The mission of the Administration for Children and Families is to promote the economic and social well-being of children, youth, families, and communities, giving special attention to vulnerable populations such as children in low-income families, refugees, Native Americans, and people with developmental disabilities. It administers programs carried out by state, Territorial, county, city, and Tribal governments as well as by private, nonprofit, and community- and faith-based organizations, designed to meet the needs of a diverse cross-section of society.
With the FY 2005 Performance Plan, we continue our efforts to increase economic independence and productivity for families; promote the healthy development, safety, and well-being of children and youth; increase the health and prosperity of communities and Tribes; and manage resources to improve performance. This plan describes how we will achieve HHS and ACF strategic goals, objectives, and performance targets with the funds we request in the FY 2005 Budget. Furthermore, this plan provides information to Congress, our partners, and the general public on how we will meet our commitments to the nation's most vulnerable populations.
