Deleted Program no longer funded.

CFDA 10.573 (Department of Agriculture) is no longer funded and should not be pursued. The program's most recent grant award was in January 2002—nearly 25 years ago—with no subsequent activity. Do not invest business development resources in this listing.

The program previously funded homeless child nutrition initiatives through Formula Grants. All six awards on record, totaling $1.4 million in federal dollars obligated, supported the Homeless Child Nutrition Program. Award magnitudes ranged from approximately $23,581 to $400,000 per grant. The Department of Agriculture was the sole funding agency. Activity was concentrated in 2001 (five awards) with a final award in early 2002, after which the program ceased to generate new opportunities. The assistance type was exclusively Formula Grants, which distribute funds according to a statutory or regulatory allocation formula rather than through competitive application.

No grant opportunities are currently open or have been posted in recent years under this listing. The program is formally listed as deleted and no longer funded. Applicants seeking federal support for child nutrition or homeless services should explore active Department of Agriculture programs such as CFDA 10.558 (Child and Adult Care Food Program), 10.559 (Summer Food Service Program for Children), or other active nutrition assistance listings that remain operationally current and regularly issue solicitations.
