##   Youth Regional Treatment Center Aftercare Program

11/30/2020

//

The purpose of the Youth Regional Treatment Center (YRTC) Aftercare Program is to address gaps in services that occur when youth transition from an YRTC treatment program and return home or to their designated caregiver. There may be limited, if any, aftercare support services available in a youth’s home community. Limited access to an aftercare support system significantly decreases the likelihood of successful recovery and increases the probability of relapse and other poor outcomes. In alignment with the Indian Health Service (IHS) 2019-2023 Strategic Plan Goal 1: To ensure that comprehensive, culturally appropriate personal and public health services are available and accessible to American Indian and Alaska Native people, the Tribal and Federal YRTC aftercare programs funded under this announcement will work closely with Tribal aftercare transition agencies to strengthen partnerships and develop a coordinated continuum of aftercare services. YRTCs will develop aftercare programs to support youth leaving residential treatment in order to promote recovery and wellness, and reduce relapse, recidivism and return to treatment. YRTCs will also address common challenges, such as juvenile delinquency, by partnering with diversion and juvenile justice programs. YRTCs will partner with Tribal and other agencies that provide transition support to identify gaps in services and create individualized aftercare support plans for youth promote a meaningful life in their home community. This is a forecast only. Applications will be available once the Notice of Funding Opportunity for this program is finalized and published in the Federal Register.

The Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for a Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Collaborative on Capacity Building and Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). This Collaborative will reinforce and respond to OCS’s mission of reducing poverty, revitalizing low-income communities, and empowering low-income families, individuals, and communities. The CQI Collaborative’s primary purpose will be to work with CSBG state associations to develop and enhance coordination efforts with CSBG State Lead Agencies that effectively prioritizes and coordinates training and technical assistance resources. The CQI Collaborative’s efforts will enhance, align, leverage, promote and establish best practices and innovative strategies for utilizing a coordinated training and technical assistance framework for spurring and sustaining results-based poverty reduction strategies, economic growth, and pathways out of poverty. The CQI Collaborative will explicitly reinforce the importance of addressing the multiple and interrelated needs of families in low-income communities, communities of color, rural and tribal communities. The CQI Collaborative will concentrate on identifying and implementing emerging, promising, and best practices through an understanding of effective coordination frameworks and strategies, organizational capacity building, implementation research, peer learning, and quality continuous quality improvement practices. The CQI Collaborative will be funded through a cooperative agreement. The cooperative agreement will require a close working partnership with OCS as well as closely collaborating and coordinating with each CSBG state association. The CQI Collaborative will implement regional and statewide training and technical assistance (T/TA) consistent with the purposes of CSBG. T/TA, provided with OCS leadership review and approval, will include the development of peer-to-peer strategies and materials such as webinars, training modules, podcasts, presentations, and other learning and capacity building activities on emerging, promising, and best practices in poverty reduction, effective CQI practices, rapid-cycle learning, using data to inform policies and practice, peer learning, and coordinated implementation and capacity-building strategies.

##   Child Care Policy Research Partnership Grants

09/22/2021

Not Provided

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) plans to solicit applications for Child Care Policy Research Partnership Grants. These four-year cooperative agreements will support partnerships between Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Lead Agencies in states, territories, or tribes and institutions with demonstrated research capacity to develop rigorous investigations of child care subsidy policies and practices. Sponsored projects will inform local and federal understanding about the efficacy of child care subsidy policies and practices to increase low-income families’ access to quality child care. To ensure that the funded work is timely and relevant to the current child care context, projects are expected to be collaborative from start to finish. The CCDF Lead Agency and their research partners must work together throughout all phases of the project and are encouraged to engage other local and state child care stakeholders, as appropriate. This iteration of the Child Care Policy Research Partnership Grants Program is expected to prioritize research projects exploring CCDF agencies’ policies, practices and funding initiatives that may support more equitable access to child care. Sponsored projects will be expected to participate in a consortium that will meet and communicate regularly to identify opportunities for coordination, such as common data elements and research methods, and to develop collective expertise and resources for the field. The consortium’s collaboration will support research capacity and learning within individual projects and across recipients.
