Streamlining Services for Children Amendment Act of 2025

The Streamlining Services for Children Amendment Act of 2025 (Bill B 26-0406) creates two new entities within the District of Columbia's government to improve coordination of youth and family services. It establishes a District Office for Children (under the Child and Family Services Agency) to coordinate services, develop a centralized website for families, advise the Mayor, and report annually on service improvements. It also creates an Interagency Council for Children, composed of city agency leaders (like Health, Education, and Public Safety) and youth advocates, to align policies on truancy, child poverty, trauma-informed practices, and youth workforce programs. The bill directly affects DC children, families, and agencies providing services, aiming to reduce service duplication and improve outcomes through structured cross-agency collaboration.
