Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OFA FN 1830
The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Family Assistance, offered a discretionary grant opportunity called "Grants for Coordination of Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Child Welfare Services to Tribal Families at Risk of Child Abuse or Neglect" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2020-ACF-OFA-FN-1830; CFDA 93.086). The program is structured as a demonstration initiative under section 403(a)(2) of the Social Security Act, meaning the goal is not only to provide services but to test and document how well tribal governments or tribal consortia can coordinate Tribal TANF services with child welfare services for tribal families who are at risk of child abuse or neglect. A core expectation is that funded projects generate practical lessons that can be shared with other Tribal TANF and child welfare programs, helping strengthen coordination across Indian Country.
The central purpose of the funding is to improve how tribal TANF and child welfare systems work together so families receive more seamless, timely, and effective support. ACF emphasized an interest in projects that produce systems-level changes that last beyond the grant period, rather than temporary or isolated improvements. In practice, this means applicants were encouraged to propose approaches that change how programs operate day-to-day, such as aligning policies and workflows, clarifying roles across programs, and reducing barriers that prevent families from accessing coordinated services.
Grant funds had to be used for one or more of three statutory purposes. First, projects could focus on improving case management for families who are eligible for assistance through a Tribal TANF program, including coordinated planning, referrals, and service tracking across TANF and child welfare. Second, funds could support services and assistance for tribal children in out-of-home placements and for the tribal families caring for them, including adoptive families, with an emphasis on stability and support around placement and permanency. Third, projects could fund prevention services and supports for tribal families at risk of abuse or neglect, aiming to intervene early and reduce the likelihood of child welfare involvement or re-entry.
ACF highlighted several example strategies that illustrate the kind of coordination and lasting infrastructure it wanted grantees to build. These included revising intake and assessment procedures so families are screened and connected to the right services without duplicative processes, creating informed consent procedures and documents that allow appropriate information sharing across program boundaries, cross-training TANF and child welfare staff so each side understands the other program's rules and resources, establishing joint case management practices where staff collaborate on plans and follow-up, and developing or improving information technology systems that support secure coordination, shared case notes where permitted, and better tracking of outcomes. Strong applications were expected to clearly describe what would be done, how it would be implemented, and what outputs and outcomes would demonstrate success.
Eligibility was limited to Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), reflecting the intent to keep leadership and implementation within tribal entities. The opportunity anticipated making about eight awards, with an award ceiling of $225,000 per project. The notice was created June 1, 2020, with an original closing date of July 16, 2020, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.Apply for HHS 2020 ACF OFA FN 1830
