The Title XX Adolescent Family Life Program | Funding History

The Adolescent Family Life (AFL) program funds demonstration projects that develop and implement innovative strategies to address issues related to adolescent pregnancy. In 1981, Title XX of the Public Health Service Act (P.L.97-35), also known as the AFL legislation, was passed and legislated discretionary funds for research, care, and prevention demonstration projects. Over the past two and a half decades, the AFL has funded a multitude of demonstration and research projects. The ratio of types of projects funded changes over time. Currently, AFL funds 36 prevention projects, 31 care projects, and 3 research projects.
