The Administration for Children and Families, more commonly referred to as ACF, is a federal government agency operating within the United States Department of Health and Human Services that's primarily responsible for pursuing and supporting programs that are intended for children, youth and families.

The grants and initiatives of the ACF are all specifically designed to achieve its main agency mission which is to "establish a strong commitment to working with vulnerable populations including people with developmental disabilities, refugees, and migrants, to address their needs, strengths, and abilities."

In accordance with this mission, the Administration for Children and Families has recently established the Child Welfare - Early Education Partnerships to Expand Protective Factors for Children with Child Welfare Involvement Program.
