often encounter challenges in maintaining
progress in achieving their educational goals.1
The John H. Chafee Program for Successful
Transition to Adulthood (Chafee program),
as authorized under title IV-E of the Social
Security Act, provides funding to States for
services and supports to ensure these youth
receive the educational services they need
to make a successful transition to adulthood.
These funds may be used to aid youth in
their efforts to obtain a high school diploma
and pursue postsecondary education or
vocational training.2
