of children, youth, families, individuals, and communities by providing federal leadership, partnership, and resources for the compassionate and effective delivery of human services. Each goal intentionally cuts across ACF programs and populations, rather than being office-specific, to reflect the interrelatedness of our programs and to ensure we are collaborating across our agency in order to move the needle for those we serve. Specific objectives appear in a bulleted list underneath each goal. This plan is envisioned as a living document that will drive action and change. <a href="/blog/2022/01/acf-launches-new-strategic-plan">Read the New Strategic Plan blog</a> to learn more.</em></p>
