This Federal Child Welfare Grant aims to award five cooperative agreements to implement and evaluate interventions that enhance child welfare by supporting families. The primary purpose is to provide comprehensive kinship preparation services and ongoing supports, informed by data, to improve permanency and well-being for children in kinship care. Additionally, the grant promotes co-parenting principles to foster trusting relationships between caregivers and parents, ensuring continued parental involvement in child-rearing. These demonstration grants require strong partnerships for effective program implementation and evaluation. A key component is the meaningful engagement of parents, kin caregivers, and youth with lived foster care experience throughout the five-year project period.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to award (5) cooperative agreements to implement and evaluate practices and interventions that: provide an array of kinship preparation services and on-going kinship supports based on a comprehensive review of local and national data on challenges and successes, improving permanency and well-being outcomes for families with children in kinship care; and promote co-parenting/shared parenting principles that build trusting relationships between caregivers and parents to ensure parents remain actively involved in normal child-rearing activities (including relative/kinship caregivers and non-related resource families). These demonstration grants will secure strong partnerships needed for effective and efficient selection of practices and interventions, program implementation, and evaluation activities. The grants will also meaningfully engage parents, relatives, kin caregivers, youth, foster parents and alumni of foster care who have lived foster care experience throughout the project. The project period will be 5 years. |
