Opportunity Summary:
Projects of National Significance: Family Support 360 Special Initiatives is a Fiscal Year 2009 discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD), which sits within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The program is designed to fund the planning and implementation of up to 15 Family Support 360 Centers that serve people with developmental disabilities, with an emphasis on strengthening the role of families, guardians, advocates, and communities in helping individuals with developmental disabilities live self-directed lives. The centers are meant to support outcomes tied to self-determination, independence, productivity, and full integration and inclusion across all parts of community life.
The legal authority behind the funding comes from the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-402), specifically the section that authorizes ADD to support national and state policies and initiatives that promote these outcomes through family support activities. In practical terms, the grant opportunity aims to build or expand community-based capacity by backing structured “Family Support 360” efforts that wrap around individuals and their families, reflecting the idea that strong family and community supports are central to long-term inclusion and quality of life.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2009-ACF-ADD-DN-0048 and is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the broader activity area of Income Security and Social Services. The CFDA program associated with it is 93.631, Developmental Disabilities Projects of National Significance. While the published announcement’s executive summary mistakenly referenced only three potential awards, the agency clarified that it intended to make up to 15 awards under this notice.
Funding levels are relatively modest but spread across multiple awards. The estimated total funding available is $1,500,000, with individual awards expected to range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $100,000. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees are expected to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal funds (the specific match structure would be detailed in the full announcement).
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Faith-based and community organizations are explicitly eligible to apply, while foreign entities are not eligible under this announcement.
The key timeline details are that the funding notice was posted on April 28, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2009. Applications submitted through Grants.gov had to be received by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date listed is July 26, 2009, indicating when the opportunity moved into an archived status after the application window closed.
