Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF ACYF EV 1812
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants: Specialized Services for Abused Parents and Their Children (Demonstration Projects) is a federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It is designed to fund demonstration projects that strengthen and expand community capacity to prevent future domestic violence by addressing the needs of children who have been exposed to family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, including situations where child abuse and neglect may also be present. The forecast was modified to broaden eligibility (adding local governments and tribal entities) and to clarify what activities and costs are expected under the grant.
Awards are made as cooperative agreements under CFDA 93.592, meaning recipients should expect ongoing involvement from the federal program office beyond a typical grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of up to $375,000 per award and anticipates roughly two dozen awards (the narrative references up to 24 demonstration projects, while the data field notes 26 expected awards). The original application closing date shown is June 5, 2020, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
The core purpose of the program is to support specialized, trauma-informed services for both abused parents and their children, with a strong emphasis on children exposed to violence. Funded projects are expected to deliver services that are developmentally appropriate and age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and linguistically accessible. The program also stresses that services should be tailored to the unique needs of children exposed to domestic violence and may need to account for overlapping impacts of child abuse and neglect. A central theme is supporting the nonabusing parent, recognizing that strengthening the nonabusing parent-child relationship and the parent’s caregiving capacity can be a critical protective factor for a child’s recovery and long-term well-being.
Allowable uses of funds are guided by the authorizing statute (42 U.S.C. 10412). Required or primary activities include providing direct counseling, advocacy, and other appropriate victim services for survivors and their children, and coordinating those services with systems such as child welfare when relevant. Projects must also provide services for nonabusing parents that help them respond to their children’s social, emotional, and developmental needs, and in appropriate cases deliver services to the nonabusing parent and child together (for example, dyadic or family-centered approaches that are safe and clinically appropriate). Beyond these core uses, funds may also support early childhood development and mental health services, coordination and technical assistance to community-based organizations serving survivors or children exposed to domestic violence, and additional supportive services and referrals for children. Examples of these supportive services include child care, transportation help, educational support, respite care, supervised visitation, and mobile or offsite services, along with other necessary supports that reduce barriers to safety and healing.
Across all activities, the opportunity sets clear expectations for service quality and approach. Projects must coordinate or provide services that are developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate; grounded in a trauma-informed framework; and aligned with evidence-informed and/or evidence-based practices. The announcement explains "evidence-informed" as an approach that blends the best available research, professional expertise, and input from victim service, advocacy, prevention, and related communities to select and deliver services that show promise for improving outcomes for abused parents and children exposed to domestic violence. Another recurring requirement is that services should be supportive of the nonabusing parent in their caregiving role and, where appropriate, should help strengthen the bond between the nonabusing parent and child.
Eligibility includes a mix of governmental, tribal, and nonprofit applicants. Specifically listed eligible applicants include county governments; city or township governments; Native American tribal governments (federally recognized); Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); and 501(c)(3) nonprofits that are not institutions of higher education, along with additional eligible entities referenced in the full announcement’s eligibility clarification. Overall, the funding is aimed at coalitions, local programs, tribal communities, and community-based organizations seeking to expand or enhance specialized, coordinated services that respond to domestic violence exposure in children while stabilizing and empowering the nonabusing parent-child unit.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF ACYF EV 1812
