Erratum

On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 into law. Due to the time delay between the writing of and the printing of this publication, this legislation was listed as pending on page 70. The new law provides $150 million for each of Federal fiscal years 2006 through 2010 to promote and support healthy marriages and responsible fatherhood. The funds will be awarded as competitive grants to government entities, faith-based organizations or community organizations.

Up to $50 million per year may be awarded to government entities, faith-based organizations or community organizations to fund activities promoting responsible fatherhood. Such activities may include parent education, counseling, education and career services to foster fathers' economic stability, or a national media campaign to encourage appropriate parent involvement in a child's life. Up to $2 million per year may be awarded as competitive grants to Indian tribes to demonstrate the effectiveness of coordinating the provision of child welfare and TANF services to tribal families at risk of child abuse or neglect. The remaining funds are designated for healthy marriage activities, which may include programs of premarital education, conflict resolution, marriage enhancement for married couples and programs designed to reduce disincentives to marriage in means-tested aid programs.
