Opportunity Summary:
The Social Services and Income Maintenance Benefits Enrollment Coordination Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 ACF OCS IB 0111) was a discretionary grant program run by the Office of Community Services (OCS) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The grant was designed to fund short, one year projects that help underserved residents more successfully enroll in and coordinate access to multiple public benefits and related services. At a practical level, the program focused on improving how communities connect people to the assistance they qualify for, reducing fragmentation across programs and agencies, and strengthening local systems that help families navigate eligibility and enrollment requirements.
The announcement planned to make up to five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,750,000. Each grant was set at a fixed level, with both the award floor and award ceiling listed as $350,000, indicating the intent to fund projects at the same amount. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowered the barrier for eligible organizations to apply and made the program more accessible to community based providers that may not have flexible funds to meet match requirements.
Projects funded under this FOA were expected to carry out three core functions that together represent a strong benefits enrollment coordination system. First, grantees were expected to use existing community access points to reach underserved residents and support the enrollment coordination process where people already go for help. This emphasizes meeting clients in trusted, familiar settings such as community nonprofits, neighborhood service hubs, or other local entry points rather than creating entirely new storefronts. Second, applicants needed to combine technology and expert analysis to more accurately assess eligibility for multiple benefits and services across government entities. In other words, the program encouraged using tools and knowledgeable staff to screen households for a range of supports, identify likely eligibility, and guide people through next steps, rather than handling benefits one program at a time. Third, grantees were expected to put mechanisms in place that sustain collaboration between community nonprofits and government agencies involved in eligibility and benefits determination. This function is about creating durable partnerships, workflows, and information sharing practices so coordination continues beyond the initial project period and does not depend solely on informal relationships.
The primary purpose of the funding was to support development and implementation of evidence based and innovative programming for benefits outreach, enrollment assistance, and coordination. The FOA also had a secondary purpose that went beyond immediate service delivery: identifying models that can be strengthened, adapted, and assessed for community impact and results. That signals an interest in approaches that can be evaluated, refined, and potentially replicated in other communities, not just one off local fixes.
Eligible applicants were nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). Faith based and community organizations were explicitly included as eligible as long as they met the stated requirements. Individuals and foreign entities were not eligible. The funding activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the associated CFDA number was 93.091.
