What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The primary purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support community-based efforts in tribal and migrant communities to strengthen families and protect children by preventing child abuse and neglect before it occurs. Funded projects will develop, operate, expand, enhance, and coordinate initiatives, programs, and activities to reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect, consistent with the goals outlined by Title II of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). This legislation specifies that 1 percent of the available funding from Title II will be reserved to fund tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs. Projects will focus on building protective factors that help tribal and/or migrant children, youth, and families build resilience and develop skills, characteristics, knowledge, and relationships that decrease risk and contribute to positive outcomes. Successful projects will demonstrate measurable progress toward increasing access to family support and prevention services tailored to the needs of tribal and/or migrant families, improving child safety and well-being, and increasing knowledge and implementation of evidence-informed practices to prevent child abuse and neglect.
