Summary
Promoting Safe and Stable Families Amendments of 2001 - Amends part B (Child and Family Services) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSA) to revise the stated purpose of the Child and Family Services program to enable States to develop and establish, or expand, and to operate coordinated programs of community-based family support services, family preservation services, time-limited family reunification services, and adoption promotion and support services to: (1) prevent child maltreatment among families at risk through the provision of supportive family services; (2) assure children's safety within the home and preserve intact families in which children have been maltreated, when the family's problems can be addressed effectively; (3) address the problems of families whose children have been placed in foster care so that reunification may occur in a safe and stable manner in accordance with the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997; and (4) support adoptive families by providing necessary support services. Revises requirements for administration of the Child and Family Services program.

Amends part E (Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of SSA title IV to: (1) eliminate State authority to opt-out of the requirement to conduct criminal background checks on prospective foster or adoptive parents; and (2) make it a purpose of the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Program to make available vouchers for education and training, including postsecondary training and education, to youth who have aged out of foster care.
