ACF indicated that approximately $14,926,033 in annual funding was available in this service area, and the agency expected to make between 1 and 8 awards. The award ceiling is listed as $14,926,033, with an award floor of $0, which generally means there is no minimum award size specified and awards may vary depending on the number of grantees selected, proposed service levels, and available funds. The funding activity category is listed under Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the program's role in strengthening family stability and child well-being through early learning, health, and family engagement services.
Eligible applicants are broad and include both public and private entities.
