Description
The
purpose of this FOA is to fund cooperative agreements that support the
development, implementation, and evaluation of primary prevention strategies to
improve the safety, stability, 3 of 58 and well-being of families through a
continuum of community-based services and supports. Projects will be required
to integrate primary prevention and early response efforts to achieve the
following goals: 1. Reduce entry into foster care by intentionally linking
families to local, community-based services early, before coming to the
attention of the child welfare agency. 2. Support the overall well-being
outcomes of children and families, including changes in risk and protective
factors, by using data to inform and align strategies across sectors and
address site-specific barriers. 3. Develop strategic collaborations with
traditional family serving agencies, parents and youth with lived experience,
the legal and judicial community, community services and family assistance
agencies, the community-based child abuse prevention agency program (CBCAP)
grantee (i.e., state lead agency and/or tribal and migrant program), and the
public housing agency. 4. Coordinate, monitor, and report on strategies and
outcomes across multi-sector partners 5. Evaluate efforts to provide substantial
information about the effectiveness of the strategies, practices, or activities
implemented in addressing intermediate outcomes and, ultimately, reducing entry
into foster care with the support of CB’s designated evaluation technical
assistance (TA) provider.
