Opportunity Summary:
The Project to Avoid Increasing Delinquencies (PAID) through Collaborations with Other Agencies or Programs is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), focused on improving child support outcomes by preventing arrears from growing and reducing delinquent child support cases. The PAID initiative began in February 2007, and it is built around strategies that help child support agencies intervene earlier and more effectively, rather than waiting until nonpayment and arrears have already escalated. The core purpose of this funding is to support demonstration projects and their evaluation, specifically projects that test practical approaches for boosting collections, slowing the accumulation of unpaid support, and improving overall performance and efficiency in state child support programs.
The projects funded under this announcement are expected to incorporate one or more established PAID strategies, particularly when those strategies are carried out in partnership with another agency or program. The announcement emphasizes early intervention with cases that show signs of falling behind, setting appropriate child support orders from the start (so obligations are realistic and more likely to be paid), routinely reviewing and adjusting orders when circumstances change, connecting noncustodial parents to employment services or job-related supports, offering arrears compromise options where appropriate, and building linkages to access and visitation services. The collaboration requirement is central to the opportunity: applicants are meant to work across systems, for example with workforce agencies, courts, visitation and parenting-time programs, or other related social service partners, to address the underlying barriers that contribute to nonpayment. The intended result is not only better payment compliance and fewer arrears, but also smoother processes and better use of resources within the child support agency.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ACF OCSE FD 0034, and it falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The associated CFDA number is 93.564, Child Support Enforcement Research, indicating the program is geared toward testing and evaluating approaches that can inform broader policy and practice. The total estimated funding for the competition is $300,000, with an expectation of about three awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $75,000 to $100,000 (award floor and ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to Title IV-D child support agencies and their umbrella agencies within states and U.S. territories. That includes state governments and eligible jurisdictions such as the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Individuals and foreign entities are explicitly not eligible under this announcement. In practical terms, the grants are designed for governmental child support programs that can implement a pilot or demonstration effort and produce evaluation findings that can be useful to other jurisdictions.
Key dates included in the notice show the grant was posted on June 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2010. Applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov were required to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date is August 22, 2010, indicating the opportunity is historical/closed, though the summary still reflects how the program was structured and what types of projects it sought to fund.
