Description:
The
primary purpose of this funding announcement is to provide financial support
to selected tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs for child
abuse prevention programs and activities that are consistent with the goals
outlined by Title II of CAPTA. The goal of the programs and activities
supported by these funds is to prevent the occurrence or recurrence of abuse
or neglect within the tribal and migrant populations. The funds must
support more effective and comprehensive child abuse prevention activities
and family support services, including an emphasis on strengthening
marriages and reaching out to include fathers, that will enhance the lives
and ensure the safety and well-being of migrant and Native American children
and their families. Some examples of programs that may be funded include,
but are not limited to, voluntary home visiting, respite care, parenting
education, mutual support, family resource centers, marriage education, and
other family support services. The funds must also be used to support an
evaluation of the programs and services funded by the grant. Finally,
programs funded should develop stronger linkages with the Community-based
Child Abuse Prevention Program (CBCAP) State Lead Agency funded under Title
II of CAPTA. It is anticipated that three grants (one each to a tribe, a
tribal organization, and a migrant program) will be funded under this
announcement for $143,000 per grantee for FY 2005. This amount reflects the
maximum Federal share of this project not exceeding one-third (1/3) of one
percent (1%) of the Federal appropriation for Title II for each 12-month
budget
period.
