The Children’s Bureau at the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is committed to partnering on a nation-to-nation basis with Tribes to ensure the wellbeing of Tribal children and preservation of Tribal families. We invite Tribal Leaders to provide input on a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for foster care legal representation and an NPRM for safe and appropriate placements and services for children in foster care who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, or intersex, as well as children who are on-binary or have non-conforming gender identity or expression (LGBTQI+). Both NPRMs were published in the Federal Register on September 28th, 2023 and are open for public comment.  The Tribal consultation will be held on October 30, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. E.D.T.
