Opportunity Summary:
Tribal Title IV-E Plan Development Grants (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2013-ACF-ACYF-CS-0579) is a discretionary, one-time federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children, Youth and Families/Children's Bureau. The core goal is to help Indian Tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia prepare to operate their own Title IV-E programs by funding the upfront planning work needed to design a compliant Title IV-E foster care and adoption assistance program and, if the Tribe chooses, a guardianship assistance program. A key requirement is that recipients use the grant period to develop and submit a Title IV-E plan to HHS within 24 months of receiving the award.
The grant specifically supports the development of a Title IV-E plan under Section 471 of the Social Security Act to carry out a program authorized under Section 479B. In practical terms, this funding is meant to cover the nuts-and-bolts capacity building that must exist before a Tribe can run Title IV-E and receive ongoing entitlement reimbursement. Allowable uses include building or improving data collection and reporting systems, creating a cost allocation methodology (so program costs can be properly identified and assigned), and developing or updating agency procedures and Tribal court procedures that are necessary to meet federal case review system requirements referenced in Section 475(5) of the Act. The announcement also allows funds to be used for other planning and development costs that are directly tied to meeting any additional federal requirement needed for HHS approval of a Title IV-E plan.
Eligibility is limited to Indian Tribes, tribal organizations, and tribal consortia as those terms are defined in Section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, 25 U.S.C. 450b), with additional statutory references to Sections 479B(a) and 476(c)(2)(A)(iii) of the Social Security Act. The eligible applicant types listed include federally recognized tribal governments as well as Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, as long as they fit the governing definitions and requirements. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that need planning funds but may not have non-federal resources available.
Funding under this opportunity was projected at $1.5 million total, with an expectation of about five awards. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $30,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.658 (Foster Care, Title IV-E). The opportunity was posted February 13, 2013, with an application closing date of May 14, 2013, and it was later archived on June 13, 2013.
