Through the 2025 iclv forge project our organization will serve fathers living in clark county, NV to promote or sustain healthy marriage, promote responsible parenting, and foster economic stability

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $5 million cooperative agreement to International Church of Las Vegas, Inc. on September 30, 2025, under the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants program (CFDA 93.086).

International Church of Las Vegas will implement the FORGE Fatherhood Program in Clark County, Nevada, delivering a 27-hour primary workshop model using evidence-based curricula—Within My Reach, 24/7 Dad Am, and Money Smart—to promote healthy relationships, responsible parenting, and economic stability among fathers. The program will serve 1,800 fathers over five years, with a target of 1,125 completing 90 percent of programming. Services include individualized case management, employment services, and connections to community resources through established partnerships. The work addresses critical needs in Clark County, which has the highest domestic violence homicide rates in the United States.

Performance occurs in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a period of performance from September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2030. The Responsible Fatherhood funding stream supports organizations providing services to promote or sustain healthy marriage and relationships, strengthen positive father-child engagement, and improve employment and economic stability opportunities.
