Request for Information: Recommendations for Future Work with AI/ANs
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has published a Request for Information (RFI) seeing recommendations for future work with and on behalf of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) leadership, tribes, trial organizations, and populations in accord with ACF’s vision of “children, youth, families, individuals, and communities who are resilient, safe, healthy, and economically secure.”
The purpose of this RFI is to identify issues and challenges facing AI/AN populations as well as to inform ACF of tribes’ and tribal organizations’ recommendations, promising practices, and innovations to address the needs of AI/AN children, youth, families, and communities. This information may be used by ACF in the development of future rulemaking and technical assistance, formation of legislative proposals and research agendas, and strategic planning in consultation with tribes.
The full RFI can be found at https://www.regulations.gov by typing ACF-2016-0002 into the Search box. You may submit your comment on regulations.gov after reviewing the RFI. If unable to do so, please send your comment to ANAComments@acf.hhs.gov. The deadline to submit a comment is March 10,2017 and ANA is exploring an extension of time for an additional 60 days to maximize the opportunity for elected tribal representatives, tribal organizations, and stakeholders (including ACF tribal grantees) to provide feedback.
