The Virgin Island Department of Human Services received a $676,935 project grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living. The award is provided through the Social Services Block Grant program (CFDA #93.667) and will support services from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023.
The Social Services Block Grant program objectives are to enable each state and territory to furnish social services tailored to the needs of their residents. Funds may be used to provide services aimed at goals such as achieving or maintaining economic self-support to prevent, reduce or eliminate dependency; achieving or maintaining self-sufficiency; preventing or remedying neglect, abuse or exploitation of children and adults unable to protect their own interests; preserving, rehabilitating or reuniting families; and preventing or reducing inappropriate institutional care by providing for community-based care, home-based care, or other forms of less intensive care. The Virgin Island Department of Human Services will deliver such services to residents through this $676,935 award.
