| | A National Strategy to Prevent Teen Pregnancy |
 | | States have the opportunity to involve communities as they design and implement their CHIP programs so that the new programs, including teen pregnancy prevention programs, may be an additional avenue to provide services to adolescents at risk. |
 | | SSBG Grants are made directly to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to fund social services tailored to meet the needs of individuals and families residing within each jurisdiction. |
 | | The Community Services Block Grant, which operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories, enables local community agencies to provide lowincome populations, including youth at risk, with job counseling, summer youth employment, GED instruction, crisis hotlines, information and referral to health care, and other services. |
