The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the University of Central Florida Board of Trustees a $5 million cooperative agreement on September 30, 2025, under the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants program (CFDA 93.086) to implement Project Harmony, a comprehensive relationship education program serving married and committed couples in Central Florida.

Project Harmony will deliver 12 hours of curriculum-based intervention to couples, consisting of 8 hours of core relationship education using the evidence-informed PREP 8.0 curriculum and 4 hours of tailored content through three specialized tracks: UNITE IN HARMONY (relationship skills), RAISE IN HARMONY (parenting), and SHIELD IN HARMONY (first responder couples). Participants will receive communication skills training, conflict resolution strategies, and stress management techniques. The program will enroll 250–300 couples annually and retain at least 200 couples each program year. Services will be delivered in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties, Florida. Over the five-year performance period ending September 29, 2030, the project is expected to serve over 1,200 couples, strengthening relationship satisfaction, family stability, and community well-being.
