Description
The
Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Children,
Youth and Families (ACYF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), announces the
solicitation of applications for awards under the Family Violence Prevention
and Services Discretionary Grants program to support three Culturally Specific
Special Interest Resource Centers (CSSIRC) that will address domestic violence
intervention and prevention efforts for victims of domestic violence who are
members of underserved and historically marginalized racial and ethnic
communities. The three CSSIRC grantees will provide national training and
technical assistance focused on enhancing the cultural and linguistic relevancy
of residential and non-residential service delivery, policy, research, systems
change, community outreach, intervention programs, and primary prevention. More
specifically, they will be expected to enhance family violence, domestic
violence, and dating violence prevention and intervention efforts for victims
of domestic violence and dating violence who are members of underserved and
historically marginalized racial and ethnic communities, by building the
capacity of domestic violence programs to provide survivor-centered, culturally
relevant, trauma-informed and linguistically appropriate services and to
coordinate outreach efforts to diverse communities. The CSSIRC grantees are
part of a network of National and Special Issue Resource Centers providing
leadership and support to the existing programs serving victims of domestic
violence and their children. This is one of four National and Special Issue
Resource Center funding opportunities that will be available for competition in
FY 2016.
