--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Historically, ACF has found that the imposition of a matching 
requirement on awards under certain programs result in an increased 
level of community support and, often, a higher profile in the 
community. This can contribute to the success and sustainability of the 
project. The Fiscal Year 2010 funding opportunity announcement for the 
Initiative to Reduce Long-Term Foster Care program will advise 
applicants on the percentage of funds that must be contributed through 
non-Federal resources, the composition of the match, and whether the 
merit of the match will be taken into consideration as a criterion in 
the competitive review. The administratively imposed matching 
requirement will apply only to new grants and their continuation 
grants, awarded under funding opportunity announcement HHS-2010-ACF-
ACYF-CA-0022.
    This matching requirement does not represent an addition to any 
existing matching requirements on awards made under other funding 
opportunity announcements issued in Fiscal Year 2008 or before. The 
amount and acceptable types of non-Federal resources allowed is not 
negotiable. However, matching may be provided as direct or indirect 
costs. Specific information related to the matching requirement and the 
competitive review process will be provided in the published funding 
opportunity announcement. Any unmatched Federal funds will be 
disallowed. Costs borne by matching contributions are subject to the 
regulations governing allowability found under 45 CFR 74.23 and 45 CFR 
92.24.
    Notices of planned grant opportunities proposed by HHS's Operating 
Divisions are available at the HHS Forecast Web site. Each Forecast 
record contains actual or estimated dates and funding levels for grants 
that the agency intends to award during the fiscal year. Additional 
details about ACF planned FY 2010 funding opportunity announcements can 
be found on the Grants Forecast Web site at http://www.hhs.gov/grantsforecast/.
    Published ACF funding opportunity announcements are available on
