Protecting Sibling Relationships in Foster Care Act has not moved since its introduction on Apr 29, 2026, with cosponsors from both parties

Protecting Sibling Relationships in Foster Care Act This bill requires the Administration for Children and Families to establish a competitive pilot grant program for foster care agencies to increase the placement of siblings together in foster care, specifically sibling groups of three or more siblings, sibling groups with a wide age range, and sibling groups with, or that include a youth with, complex needs. Grant funds must be used to develop specialized foster care programs that (1) are designed to identify available placements for, and place together, such sibling groups; and (2) are evidence-based and proven to substantially increase joint sibling placements.
