Youth Education and Domestic

Violence Model Programs

AGENCY: Office of Community Services,

ACF, DHHS.

ACTION: Notice and call for information

on current youth education and

domestic violence programs to be

considered as model projects for

evaluation and possible nationwide

distribution.

SUMMARY: The Department of Health and

Human Services (DHHS) is authorized,

in consultation with the Secretary of

Education, to ‘‘select, implement, and

evaluate four separate model programs

for the education of young people about

domestic violence and violence among

intimate partners.’’ The model programs

must address one of four different

audiences: primary schools, middle

schools, secondary schools, and

institutions of higher education, and

shall be selected, implemented, and

evaluated in consultation with

‘‘educational experts, legal and

psychological experts on battering, and

victim advocate organizations such as

battered women’s shelters, State

coalitions, and resource centers.’’

As a first step, we want to identify

and solicit information on programs for

the education of young people about

domestic violence and violence among

intimate partners that are being

conducted for one or more of the four

student audiences. This announcement

contains all instructions for submitting

information on youth education

programs.

DATES: The closing date for submission

of program information is August 16,

1996.

ADDRESSES: Program information may

be mailed to the U.S. Department of

Health and Human Services,

Administration for Children and

Families/Office of Community Services,

(OCS–96–09), 370 L’Enfant Promenade,

SW., Mail Stop 6C–462, Washington, DC

20447.

Hand delivered program information

is accepted during the normal working

hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday

through Friday, on or prior to the

established closing date at: U.S.

Department of Health and Human

Services, Administration for Children

and Families, Office of Community

Services, ACF Mailroom, 2nd Floor

Loading Dock, Aerospace Center 901 D

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20447,

between Monday and Friday (excluding

Federal holidays).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Youth

Education and Domestic Violence

program is authorized by section 317 of

the Family Violence Prevention and

Services Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 10417,

as amended by Pub. L. 103–322, the

Violent Crime Control and Law

Enforcement Act of 1994.

Congress has made available $400,000

to carry out the provisions of section

317.

The Office of Community Services,

Administration for Children and

Families (OCS) will select and evaluate

four types of model programs for the

education of four specified audiences of

young people about domestic violence

and violence among intimate partners.

Six to eight programs will be selected to

participate in a national evaluation of

their efforts. These programs may be

recommended to Congress for possible

future nationwide distribution.

Specifically, OCS will proceed as

follows:

First, we will convene an expert panel

to:

(a) Help identify youth education and

domestic violence programs for

evaluation;

(b) Assist in the development of

criteria to be used in the preliminary

selection of programs to be evaluated;

and

(c) Assist in the design and

development of the evaluation study.

Second, we are actively soliciting

information about and descriptions of

current youth education programs. We

are using this Federal Register notice,

Department of Education (DOE)

networks, professional publications,

national resource centers, the electronic

media, and other mechanisms to request

information about such programs.

Third, the expert panel will assist the

DHHS and DOE to review the

information on programs received and

select at least six but no more than eight

for the evaluation.

We do not have a pre-conceived

model or educational approach in mind.

We are interested in obtaining

information on the more outstanding

programs being implemented. These

programs may include, for example,

training curricula, print and visual

training aids (as audiovisual

components of a structured and more

comprehensive program), and model

programs that may be school or nonschool based. They may include a range

of subject matter topics as appropriate to

the specific student audience, such as

interpersonal violence prevention, selfesteem training for girls, conflict

resolution, and the prevention of

acquaintance rape and other forms of

sexual abuse and violence developed for

the high school and college population.

PROGRAM INFORMATION REQUESTED: The

information on the youth education

programs should be narrative and not

exceed 30 pages in length. Program

descriptions should include:

Health Resources and Services

Administration

Notification of Expiring Project Periods

for Health Care for the Homeless and

Health Care Services for Homeless

Children Programs

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services

Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and

Services Administration (HRSA)

announces that a total of 16 Health Care

for the Homeless (HCH) grantees and 1

Health Care for Homeless Children

grantee will reach the end of their

project periods during fiscal year (FY)

1997. Assuming the availability of

sufficient appropriated funds in FY

1997, it is the intent of HRSA to

continue to support health services to

the homeless populations in these areas/

locations given the continued need for

cost-effective, community-based

primary care services for these

medically underserved populations

within these geographic areas.

This notice provides interested parties

the opportunity to gather information

and decide whether to pursue Federal

funding as a HCH program grantee.

During this process, communication

with Regional Office staff is essential

(see Appendix I). A subsequent notice

will be published in the Federal

Register to announce the availability of

funds for FY 1997 and provide

application and detailed information on

the grant review criteria.

DUE DATES: Current grant expiration

dates vary by grantee throughout FY

1997. Applications for competing

continuation grants are normally due

120 days prior to the expiration of the

current grant award. However, to allow

potential applicants sufficient time to

prepare application materials for those

areas in which grants are expiring on

October 31, 1996, applications for grants

beginning November 1, 1996 will be due

90 days prior to the expiration of the

current grant award or no later than

August 1, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HCH

program is carried out currently under

the authority of section 340 of the

Public Health Service Act. The HCH

program is designed to increase the

homeless population’s access to costeffective, case managed, and integrated

primary care and substance abuse

services provided by existing

community-based programs/providers.

In addition, the Health Care Services for

Homeless Children’s program provides

comprehensive primary health services

to homeless children and to children at

imminent risk of homelessness.

The list of areas in which a current

homeless project period expires in FY

1997 is set forth in Appendix II. The

areas listed include the city. Further

information including the census tract,

if applicable, can be obtained by

contacting the appropriate PHS regional

office (see Appendix I).

A project period is the total amount

of time for which a grant has been

programmatically approved. For

purposes of this notice, grant awards

will be made for a one year budget

period and up to a five year project

period.
