Opportunity Summary:
The Abandoned Infants Assistance Comprehensive Support Services for Families Affected by Substance Abuse and/or HIV/AIDS grant (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-ACF-ACYF-CB-0060) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It falls under the Income Security and Social Services funding category and is tied to CFDA 93.551 (Abandoned Infants). The opportunity is rooted in the Abandoned Infants Assistance Act of 1988 (Section 104 of Public Law 100-505, later amended by Public Law 108-36), and it is designed to strengthen community responses for infants and families facing serious risks connected to substance abuse and/or HIV/AIDS, with an emphasis on coordinated, practical services that improve safety, stability, and family functioning.
The announcement lays out three main purposes. First, it funds the development and implementation of comprehensive, community-based support service programs for the target population described in the Abandoned Infants Assistance Act. In practice, this means applicants are expected to build or expand service models that bring multiple supports together in a coordinated way at the community level, rather than offering a single standalone service. Second, it requires evaluation of both implementation and outcomes, signaling that grantees are expected to measure how the program is delivered, what it produces, and what changes occur for infants and families as a result. Third, it aims to establish these funded projects as identifiable program sites that can serve as learning hubs for other states and localities. In other words, the federal intent is not only to help a small number of communities, but also to produce examples, lessons learned, and potentially replicable approaches that others can adopt or adapt.
Funding for the competition was estimated at $3.8 million total, with an anticipated eight awards. The award ceiling was listed at $475,000, and the award floor was $0, which generally indicates there is no guaranteed minimum award size and that final award amounts depend on the approved project scope and available funds. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in accordance with the rules described in the full announcement. This matching element typically matters for budgeting and sustainability planning, since applicants must document and track eligible match contributions.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments; city, township, and county governments; special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and private institutions of higher education (including public/state-controlled institutions); and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The notice emphasizes that collaborative and interdisciplinary efforts are encouraged, reflecting the reality that families affected by substance use disorders and/or HIV often need services spanning health, behavioral health, child welfare, early childhood supports, and social services. Even so, the application must clearly identify a single primary applicant that will be responsible for administering the grant, managing compliance, and serving as the lead fiscal and programmatic entity. Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible to apply. Foreign entities are not eligible under this opportunity.
The timeline in the announcement indicates it was posted and created on March 10, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 11, 2009, and an archive date of June 10, 2009. For electronic submission through Grants.gov, the notice highlights a strict deadline of 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, which is a common federal requirement and can be a critical detail for applicants coordinating multi-part submissions.
For those seeking the complete program requirements, definitions of the target population, the specific expectations for the comprehensive support services model, evaluation standards, and detailed match rules, the announcement points applicants to the ACF posting at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/open/HHS 2009 ACF ACYF CB 0060.html (spacing as shown in the source text).
