Opportunity Summary:
Projects of National Significance: Family Support 360 Centers is a discretionary federal grant opportunity released by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Using FY 2009 funding, ADD planned to make up to five awards to help applicants plan and implement Family Support 360 Centers designed to strengthen supports for families of people with developmental disabilities. The program is grounded in the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-402), which authorizes activities that reinforce and promote self-determination, independence, productivity, and full community inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities, specifically through family support efforts carried out with families, guardians, advocates, and community partners.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-ACF-ADD-DN-0046) falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services and is listed under CFDA 93.631, Developmental Disabilities Projects of National Significance. Total estimated funding was $1,000,000, with an expected five awards. Each award was set at $200,000 (both the ceiling and the floor), and the announcement specified a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients would be expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the terms described in the full notice.
Eligibility was limited by statute to public or private nonprofit entities, and foreign entities were not eligible. While the general eligibility list included a wide range of government and nonprofit types (including faith-based and community organizations, tribal entities, local governments, and public or private institutions of higher education), the notice added a key program-specific restriction: only applicants in states and territories that did not receive funding to implement a Family Support 360 grant in FY 2004 could apply. The eligible jurisdictions named in the announcement were Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, the Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming. This requirement effectively narrowed competition to a defined set of states and territories that had not previously been funded for this specific initiative.
A central application condition was the requirement for a letter from the Governor designating the lead agency for the Family Support 360 Implementation Grant. This letter had to be included at submission; applications missing it would not be reviewed or ranked. If the Governor designated a private entity as the lead agency rather than a state or local public human services agency, the Governor also had to identify, in a letter to the Commissioner of ADD, a state or local human services agency that would serve as the lead partner alongside the private lead. This structure signaled that, even when community-based organizations led the work, ADD expected tight coordination with public human services systems to support implementation and statewide alignment.
The timeline for the competition was also clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on April 28, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2009, and an archive date of July 26, 2009. For applications submitted through Grants.gov, the deadline was no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date, a detail that mattered because late electronic submissions would typically be treated as noncompliant. The notice directed applicants to the full announcement for complete program expectations, required forms, and detailed submission instructions, and it provided an applications help desk contact (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov) for technical access issues.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity aimed to expand access to coordinated, family-centered supports by establishing or strengthening Family Support 360 Centers in eligible jurisdictions. The emphasis on self-determination and community integration, combined with the requirement for gubernatorial designation and human services partnership, suggests the program was intended not just as a stand-alone service project, but as a catalyst for broader state or territorial policy and systems improvements that help families support individuals with developmental disabilities across the lifespan.
