Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF ACYF CU 1568
The Regional Partnership Grants (RPG) opportunity (HHS-2019-ACF-ACYF-CU-1568) is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families, Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Children s Bureau. It supports regional, multi-agency partnerships that work together to improve well-being, safety, and permanency outcomes for children and families affected by opioids and other substance use. The central focus is on children who are already in out-of-home care, as well as children who are at risk of entering out-of-home placements because a parent or caregiver has a substance use disorder. Rather than funding isolated services, the program is designed to strengthen how systems coordinate so families experience more seamless support across child welfare and substance use treatment.
The grants are intended for partnerships that already have, or can credibly establish, a collaborative structure capable of building a region s long-term capacity to respond to family needs that overlap child welfare involvement and substance use treatment. The expectation is that partners will integrate programs and services across agencies, aligning goals and operations so that families can access timely treatment, recovery supports, and child welfare services that reduce risk, stabilize caregiving, and support reunification or other permanency outcomes when appropriate. The work is explicitly framed around improving child well-being and safety while reducing unnecessary or prolonged foster care stays when safe permanency can be achieved.
A major requirement of the RPG model is strong performance measurement and evaluation. Grantees must select and report on performance indicators and evaluation measures as required by legislation, with the goal of generating knowledge about what works for this population. Funded partnerships are expected to implement specific, well-defined interventions that are evidence-based, trauma-informed, and tailored to the needs of the identified target population. Beyond simply delivering services, each project must conduct an evaluation rigorous enough to add to the evidence base on service delivery approaches, outcomes, and costs. In addition, grantees must participate in a national cross-site evaluation that includes, at minimum, implementation and outcomes components, helping the federal program compare lessons learned across multiple regions.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial federal involvement beyond standard grant monitoring, often including collaboration on evaluation and learning activities. The project period is 60 months and is structured in two stages: a one-year Planning Phase followed by a four-year Implementation Phase. Applicants are expected to use the first year to finalize partnership operations, define the target population and service model, set up data collection and evaluation plans, and prepare for scaled implementation. The funding guidance anticipates that no more than $250,000 will be spent during the Planning Phase, with the remaining funds spread across the Implementation Phase at roughly one-fourth of the remaining total per year.
Funding levels and competition details indicate a sizable but limited national cohort. The estimated maximum award (ceiling) is $2,650,000 per project, with an anticipated 7 awards. The program falls under CFDA 93.087 (Income Security and Social Services). Eligibility is listed as "Others" with clarification referenced in the full announcement, which usually means applicants must carefully confirm eligible lead agencies and required partner composition in the FOA text. The opportunity was posted June 20, 2019, with an original application deadline of July 31, 2019 (electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date).
In practical terms, this opportunity funds regions that can bring child welfare agencies, substance use treatment providers, courts, and other family-serving systems into a coordinated approach that both supports recovery and improves child outcomes. Successful projects are expected to show not only that services were provided, but that the partnership produced measurable improvements in safety, stability, and permanency, and that the results are documented in a way that strengthens national understanding of effective, trauma-informed interventions for families affected by opioid and other substance use.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF ACYF CU 1568
