Opportunity Summary:
Child Welfare - Education System Collaborations to Increase Educational Stability (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-ACYF-CO-0183) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. The core goal of the program is to strengthen working partnerships between child welfare agencies and education systems so that children who are in foster care, involved with child protective services, or otherwise at risk of entering the child welfare system experience greater educational stability and improved school success. The initiative is especially focused on youth ages 10 to 17, a group that often faces frequent placement changes, school moves, and disruptions in academic progress that can compound other challenges.
The opportunity emphasizes practical, on-the-ground collaboration. Applicants are expected to use child welfare data and local knowledge to identify the neighborhoods, schools, or districts that serve the highest concentrations of children touched by the child welfare system. From there, the intent is to develop or strengthen joint policies, procedures, and programs that reduce school mobility, support timely enrollment and records transfer, improve attendance and academic continuity, and increase coordination around the needs of students whose living situations may be changing. In short, the grant is designed to move beyond informal relationships and toward structured cross-system approaches that make schools and child welfare partners operate more seamlessly on behalf of students.
The total estimated funding available under the announcement is $2,000,000, with an expected 8 awards. The award ceiling is $250,000, and the award floor is listed as $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the program more accessible to organizations and public agencies that do not have flexible funding to meet match obligations. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.652 (Adoption Opportunities).
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status as well as certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible as long as they meet the stated requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietor organizations are not eligible to apply.
