Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Title IV-E Plan Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-ACYF-CS-0174) is a one-time, discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). It is designed to help Indian Tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia build the capacity needed to create a Title IV-E program and to prepare a formal Title IV-E plan for submission to HHS. The core goal is straightforward: within 24 months of receiving an award, the grantee is expected to develop and submit a plan to implement Title IV-E foster care and adoption assistance and, if the Tribe chooses, guardianship assistance as well. In practice, this funding is meant to support the planning and infrastructure work that has to happen before a Tribe can operate a federally approved Title IV-E program.
Grant funds can be used for the costs of developing a Title IV-E plan under section 471 of the Social Security Act in order to carry out a program authorized under section 479B of the Act. The announcement specifically highlights several common planning cost areas: designing or improving data collection systems that can support Title IV-E administration and reporting; creating a cost allocation methodology (which is typically essential for documenting and claiming allowable program costs across funding sources); developing or updating agency procedures and tribal court procedures needed to meet federal case review system requirements referenced in section 475(5) of the Act; and covering other costs that are directly tied to meeting any additional requirements needed for HHS approval of a Title IV-E plan. The intent is not to fund ongoing service delivery indefinitely, but to pay for the foundational work that makes approval and future program implementation possible.
The opportunity anticipated making about 5 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,500,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for applicants that may not have available non-federal funds to contribute. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.658 (Foster Care Title IV-E), and the funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services.
Eligibility is limited to Indian Tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia. The terms "Indian Tribe" and "tribal organization" follow the definitions in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450b), and the announcement references relevant statutory sections for Title IV-E tribal participation. Entities that are not eligible include individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships, meaning applicants must be an eligible tribal government or tribal entity as defined in the notice.
Key dates included a posted date of April 5, 2011, and an application deadline that was modified from July 5, 2011 to July 7, 2011. For electronic submissions through Grants.gov, applications were required to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011. For applicants needing technical help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
