##   Empowering All Survivors of Trafficking to Access Healthcare - Foreign Nationals (EAST-FN) Demonstration Program

09/03/2021

//

The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is announcing funds for the Empowering All Survivors of Trafficking to Access Healthcare - Foreign Nationals (EAST-FN) Demonstration Program. The EAST-FN Demonstration Program goal is to build capacity for healthcare facilities to engage foreign national adults and minors who have experienced a severe form of human trafficking as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended, to improve access to health services, health-seeking behaviors, and overall well-being. A foreign national includes individuals who are not lawful permanent residents, parolees, refugees, or asylees. The EAST-FN Demonstration Program will achieve this goal by directly funding projects that will build, expand, and sustain the capacity of healthcare facilities to provide primary, and preventative healthcare to foreign national individuals who have experienced human trafficking to include treatment of acute and chronic illness and injury; annual physical examinations; vaccinations; medical clearance evaluations; infectious disease testing and treatment; mental health services; case management services; and other services to support their well-being. Bonus points will be awarded to applicants that are designated Medically Underserved Areas and Populations, and/or are located in Health Professional Shortage Areas, as designated by the Health Resources & Services Administration. Under the EAST-FN Program, the following activities are required: 1) provision of primary and preventative healthcare to adults and minor foreign national individuals who have experienced human trafficking; 2) training and capacity building to healthcare provider staff within the healthcare facility on effective identification, screening, assessment, trauma-informed medical service delivery, and referral strategies; 3) provision of comprehensive culturally and linguistically responsive case management delivered healthcare onsite or via a referral partner; 4) development and implementation of a human trafficking referral protocol to identify and respond to foreign national individuals; and 5) awareness raising efforts to promote the services and assistance available to foreign national individuals who have experienced human trafficking. Applicants that do not provide onsite primary and preventative healthcare services may partner with a healthcare facility that does in order to achieve the program’s objectives. The EAST-FN Program is informed by a whole family approach that focuses equally and intentionally on services and opportunities for clients and their immediate family members living within their households. OTIP is encouraging the establishment of community partnerships, meaningful engagement of individuals with lived experience, and the hiring of qualified professionals that reflect the communities being served in all project implementation strategies under the EAST-FN Program. Under the EAST-FN Program, there is a 12-month project implementation period for the prime recipient to facilitate optional partnerships, on-board new staff, develop a human trafficking referral protocol specific to the healthcare facility, and develop a sustainability plan. However, clients must be served during the 12-month project implementation period. For the purposes of this program, healthcare facilities are defined as places where healthcare services are rendered by licensed healthcare providers in acute care hospitals, urgent care centers, community healthcare clinics, and urgent care centers. Healthcare facilities include Federally Qualified Health Centers. Federally Qualified Health Centers include Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, and Health Centers for Residents of Public Housing. A healthcare provider is a Doctor of Medicine or osteopathy, podiatrist, dentist, chiropractor, clinical psychologist, optometrist, nurse practitioner, nurse, midwife, or a clinical social worker who is authorized to practice medicine by their State and performing within the scope of their practice as defined by State law.

##   Direct Services for Survivors of Torture

09/10/2021

//

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites the submission of applications for funding for the Direct Services for Survivors of Torture (DS SOT) Program, with the aim of helping survivors and their families to overcome the severe, pervasive, and long-lasting effects of torture, and to achieve sustained physical, social, emotional, and economic well-being. ORR uses the term “survivors” to refer to individuals who were tortured in another country and are now living in the United States. Torture is defined by U.S. law as an act which is intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering and committed by a person acting under the color of law upon another person who one has under one’s custody or physical control (18 U.S. Code §2340). The DS SOT Program encompasses a comprehensive approach to supporting the integration and well-being of survivors of torture through the following two objectives: to increase survivors' access to and engagement with effective, holistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed services; and to maintain and grow a strong and sustainable national network of culturally responsive service providers. Services and activities under the DS SOT Program include, but are not limited to, the following: culturally and linguistically appropriate, trauma-informed coordination of care encompassing case management, legal assistance, medical and mental health services, housing, and occupational and educational services; coordination with other service providers, including the State Refugee Coordinator and State Refugee Health Coordinator, to ensure seamless access to services for survivors; and outreach to and engagement with survivors, thereby ensuring their empowerment and integration, especially in the case of marginalized survivor sub-groups such as refugees, survivors of gender-based violence, and LGBTQ individuals.

07/25/2022

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces funding for the Refugee Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) Program, which establishes and manages IDAs for low-income refugee participants. In accordance with the Afghan Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, Refugee IDA programs funded under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will serve nationals of Afghanistan for whom refugee and entrant assistance is authorized who entered the United States on or after July 31, 2021. Eligible participants (clients) who enroll in these projects will open and contribute systematically to IDAs for specified Savings Goals, including homeownership, securing rental housing, business capitalization, vehicles for educational or work purposes, professional certification, and education (limited to postsecondary and/or continuing education, college entrance exam fees, Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and General Education Development (GED) Diploma preparation and test fees). Recipient organizations must use ORR funds to provide financial literacy training, asset-specific training, and matching the savings in the IDAs. The “match” mentioned in this NOFO does not refer to the applicant finding additional funds to match funds being provided by the federal government; it is the portion of federal funds to be allocated for matching clients' IDA savings. Successful recipients will be expected to coordinate their policies and procedures for developing and administering refugee IDA projects with ORR and with the existing refugee IDA network.

##   Disaster Assistance for University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research and Service Disability Programs in Puerto Rico and Florida

03/24/2023

04/24/2023

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announces a new funding opportunity to address the needs of people with disabilities impacted by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. People with disabilities often have unique needs during a crisis. For example, they may have a wider variety of functional limitations, sometimes requiring more supports, many of which are often in short supply during and after a crisis event. It is critical that individuals, service providers, and communities actively engage in emergency planning and response that is inclusive of people with disabilities to ensure they continue to be supported in their communities and not in institutions. Effective emergency and disaster response and recovery promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work, and play. The disability networks funded by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) play essential roles in that work. As the nation’s visible and trusted network of programs, these organizations provide a variety of services, including those related to assisting with emergency and disaster recovery efforts, such as offering case management support, relocating impacted individuals to safe housing in the community, and ensuring state and local services provided are accessible to people with disabilities. Understanding the resources available and the needs of people with disabilities in their areas, these networks have over 50 years of community experience and possess intimate knowledge of how to address emergencies and disasters.  Puerto Rico and Florida were directly impacted by major category 4 hurricanes which significantly affected the vital services and programs that support older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers to live as independently as possible in their own communities. The Aging and Disability Network has been attempting to meet an increased need for services in impacted communities with current Older Americans Act (OAA) funding, Rehabilitation Act funding, and Developmental Disabilities Act funding. None of these authorities include direct funding for disaster related activities and programs are redirecting funds intended for other activities to address immediate needs caused by the Hurricanes. This funding is intended for the ACL Aging and Disability Network in Florida and Puerto Rico to help advance recovery and response efforts that are inclusive of people with disabilities and provide gap-filling services for older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers for immediate and long-term disaster response and recovery. Examples of activities consistent with the purpose of this directed announcement funding are the following:Program a staffing costs to support response and recovery efforts, including case management.Program materials and supplies costs to support response efforts.General outreach to people with disabilities and information and referral.Monitoring shelters / temporary dwellings for health, wellness, and safety.Coordination with emergency response partners and other local and state agencies to ensure the needs of people with disabilities are being addressed.Providing case management and managing transitions to home / community placement for those placed in skills nursing facilities.Assisting with replacing supplies, durable medical equipment, and medication.Providing food assistance and home delivered groceries / meals.Obtaining needed personal hygiene items.Providing or assisting with access to personal care assistance and transportation assistance.

##   Essentials for Childhood (EfC): Preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences through Data to Action

04/12/2023

06/12/2023

Essentials for Childhood (EfC): Preventing Adversity through Data to Action, a cooperative agreement designed to support states in the prevention of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and promotion of positive childhood experiences (PCEs). ACEs are preventable, potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years) such as experiencing or witnessing violence, experiencing neglect; witnessing violence in the home. Also included are aspects of the child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding such as growing up in a household with substance use problems, mental health problems, or instability due to parental separation or incarceration of a parent, sibling or other member of the household. ACEs can have significant consequences, including associations with poor health outcomes (e.g., asthma, cancer, heart disease), health risk behaviors (e.g., current smoking and heavy drinking), mental health challenges (depression, anxiety), and socioeconomic challenges (e.g., unemployment and no health insurance). The three primary goals of this NOFO are to 1) enhance a state-level surveillance infrastructure that ensures the capacity to collect, analyze, and use ACE and PCE data to inform ACE prevention strategies and approaches; 2) support the implementation of data-driven, comprehensive, evidence-based ACE primary prevention strategies and approaches, particularly with a focus on health equity; and 3) conduct data to action activities on an ongoing basis to inform changes or adaptations to existing strategies or selection and implementation of additional strategies. Health equity is the attainment of the highest level of health for all people. Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally with focused and ongoing societal efforts to address avoidable inequalities, historical and contemporary injustices, and the elimination of health and healthcare disparities.Health inequities are health differences or disparities that are systematic, unfair, and avoidable. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, learn, work, and age. The goal is for everyone to attain equitable access to life circumstances such as education, occupation, and income to achieve optimal health, well-being, and safety. To support these goals, recipients are expected to leverage multi-sector partnerships and resources to improve ACE and PCE surveillance infrastructures and the coordination and implementation of ACE prevention strategies across the state and, for some recipients, communities within the state. As a result, there will be increased state capacity to develop and sustain a surveillance system that collects, uses, and disseminates data on ACEs and PCEs, including data used to identify health inequities; and increased implementation and reach of ACE prevention strategies that help to promote safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments where children live, learn and play.
