Summary
The CONNECT Act amends the federal foster‑care law to add two new purposes: helping youth 14 and older build lasting supportive relationships, and ensuring they receive information and peer‑support services while planning for permanency. It applies to children in foster care and the state or tribal agencies that serve them. The changes aim to reduce isolation and improve outcomes as these youths transition to adulthood.
