    Summary

    The purpose of the Regional Partnership Grants to Increase the Well-Being of, and to Improve the Permanency Outcomes for, Children Affected by Substance Abuse program is to provide competitive grant funds for Regional Partnership Grants (RPGs) to improve the well-being of children affected by substance abuse. These targeted grants will be awarded to Regional Partnerships that provide through interagency collaboration and integration of programs and services, activities and services that are designed to increase the well-being of, improve permanency outcomes for, and enhance the safety of children who are in out-of-home placements or are at risk of entering out-of-home placements as a result of a parent's or caretaker's substance abuse.
    Applicants are expected to have a collaborative structure in place that is capable of building a region's capacity to meet a broad range of needs for families involved with both substance abuse treatment and the child welfare system. Per the legislative requirements, RPGs are required to select and report on performance indicators and evaluation measures to increase the knowledge that can be gained from the program. Partnerships will: Use specific, well-defined, and evidence-based programs that are also trauma-informed and targeted to the identified population; Conduct an evaluation that is sufficiently rigorous to contribute to the evidence base on service delivery, outcomes and costs associated with the project's chosen interventions; and Participate in the national cross-site evaluation, which includes an implementation and partnership study, an outcomes study, and an impact study.
     

    History of Funding

    In 2011, the Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act (Pub. L. 112-34) was passed, reauthorizing PSSF, and the RPG program. The legislation enhanced language around the evaluation requirements by requiring HHS to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of the grants. Following this reauthorization, three more rounds of grants were funded for a period of 5 years:
    • September 2012 (RPG Round 2): 17 grants awarded in 15 states
    • September 2014 (RPG Round 3): 4 grants awarded in 4 states
    • September 2017 (RPG Round 4): 17 grants awarded in 17 states

    Additional Information

    Costs of organized fund raising, including financial campaigns, endowment drives, solicitation of gifts and bequests, and similar expenses incurred to raise capital or obtain contributions are unallowable. Fund raising costs for the purposes of meeting the Federal program objectives are allowable with prior written approval from the Federal awarding agency.
    Applicants should note this program requires a minimum of 20 percent of grant funds be spent on required evaluation elements of this program, including the local evaluation, participation in the national cross-site evaluation, and to satisfactorily collect and evaluate the data necessary for monitoring the proposed performance indicators.
