About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families seeks applicants for Regional Partnership Grants to fund family-centered substance abuse treatment and prevention services for children in or at risk of out-of-home placement due to caregiver substance abuse, with applications due August 7, 2026. Applicants must form regional partnerships including the state child welfare agency, the state substance abuse prevention and treatment agency, and the appropriate juvenile or state court office, with optional partners including additional state agencies, Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and public or private agencies. Cost-sharing is mandatory, with applicants required to provide 15 percent non-federal match in budget years one and two, 20 percent in years three and four, and 25 percent in year five.
The program anticipates eight awards ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000 per 12-month budget period, totaling $8,000,000 across a single 60-month project period comprised of five 12-month budget periods. The project includes a Planning Phase and an Implementation Phase. Place of performance is regional. Eligible applicant types include Tribal Organizations (Not Federally Recognized), Non-501(c)(3) Nonprofits, County Governments, 501(c)(3) Nonprofits, State Governments, For Profit Organizations, Other, Tribal Governments (Federally Recognized), and City/Township Governments.
Funded projects must allocate 20 percent of the project budget for evaluation efforts and support family-based, comprehensive, long-term substance use disorder treatment including medication-assisted treatment, in-home recovery services, early intervention and prevention services, children and family counseling, mental health services, parenting skills training, and replication of successful service delivery models. Merit review scoring allocates 40 points to Approach, 25 points to Evaluation, 20 points to Organizational Capacity, 10 points to Objectives, 10 points to ACF Priority Alignment, and 5 points to Budget. The program is funded under CFDA 93.087 (Enhance Safety of Children Affected by Substance Abuse). Non-competing continuation awards will be issued to projects demonstrating satisfactory progress and maintaining partnership coordination, contingent on federal funding availability.
Synopsis
The Regional Partnership Grant (RPG) Program supports regional partnerships between child welfare, substance abuse treatment and juvenile or state courts. The goal is to support family-centered treatment programs and services for children who are in an out-of-home placement or are at risk of being placed in an out-of-home placement due to caregiver's substance abuse. Projects will also work to expand the scope of evidence-based services for families impacted by substance-use disorders. Projects are required to have regional partnerships with legislatively required partners, including a planning and implementation phase, to provide a cost-sharing match, and report on performance indicators. RPG funds may support family-based, comprehensive, long-term substance-use disorder treatment, including medication-assisted treatment and in-home substance-use disorder treatment and recovery services, as well as early intervention and prevention services, children and family counseling, mental health services, parenting skills training, and the replication of successful models for delivering family-based, comprehensive, long-term substance use disorder treatment services. This project is for one 60-month project period, comprised of five 12-month budget periods. It includes a Planning Phase and an Implementation Phase.
