The supplemental funding would provide financial and technical support to local infant-toddler court sites that previously received funding under HRSA-18-123, but that do not currently receive HRSA funding under HRSA-22-073/074, and expand technical assistance (TA) needed to support the continuation and expansion of State Award activities funded under HRSA-22-073/074.

                                      and Families, Inc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Justification: In FY 2022, under the authority for Special Projects 
of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2) 
(Title V, Sec.  501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act)), HRSA awarded 
the ITCP National Resource Center to ZERO TO THREE National Center for 
Infant, Toddler and Families, Inc (HRSA-22-074). This award included 
expectations for the recipient to provide TA to the ITCP (HRSA-22-073) 
recipients and support the nationwide implementation and sustainability 
of the evidence-based ITC approach.
    A Congressional Report accompanying the Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47) included funding to ``to 
continue and expand research-based Infant-Toddler Court Teams to change 
child welfare practices to improve wellbeing for infants, toddlers, and 
their families,'' (Senate Report 118-84). In addition, the Joint 
Explanatory Statement accompanying the FY 2024 appropriations act 
directed HRSA to ``allocate funding to ensure continuation of existing 
grantees, technical assistance, and other activities.'' In FY 2024, 
HRSA provided a supplement of $1,750,000 in SPRANS to the NRC Program 
recipient to continue work initiated in FY 2023 (with an increased 
SPRANS appropriation), to expand TA to ITC teams, provide financial and 
technical support to local infant-toddler court sites that previously 
received funding under HRSA-18-123, and advance national-level reach 
and impact of the program.
    Consistent with previous Congressional intent, HRSA, through its 
Maternal and Child Health Bureau, will provide a supplement of 
$1,750,000 in SPRANS funding to the ITCP NRC Program recipient to 
continue to provide subawards and technical assistance to ITC teams, 
expand technical assistance to ITC teams funded under HRSA-22-073/074 
and advance the reach and impact of the program.
    This supplement will improve access to evidence-based child welfare 
practices and improve the early developmental health and well-being of 
infants, toddlers, and their families. Supplemental funding for similar 
activities may be considered in future years, subject to the 
availability of funding for the activity and satisfactory performance.

Administrator.
