Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OCS ET 1587
This funding opportunity is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Community Services (OCS), focused on strengthening Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) work in ACF Region VII through a Regional Performance and Innovation Consortium (RPIC). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal program office expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on major activities, rather than operating as a hands-off funder. OCS planned to make one award in Region VII, with an annual award ceiling of $400,000, under CFDA 93.569 (Income Security and Social Services). The opportunity was posted May 16, 2019, with an application deadline of July 10, 2019 (11:59 p.m. ET for electronic submissions).
The main purpose is to establish a single regional focal point for training and technical assistance (T/TA) that helps CSBG stakeholders design, strengthen, and sustain multi-year community transformation initiatives. The emphasis is not on one-time projects or isolated services, but on longer-term efforts intended to move individuals, families, and entire communities toward improved human capacity, reduced dependency, and lasting self-sufficiency. The RPIC is expected to work within the CSBG Performance Management Framework and to promote the use of outcomes and measures aligned with OMB-approved CSBG National Performance Indicators. In practice, that means the consortium is expected to help programs show results in a standardized way, using shared definitions, credible measurement approaches, and performance management routines that support continuous improvement.
A central feature of the opportunity is regional collaboration. The community transformation initiatives are meant to be built and carried out through partnerships that include CSBG-eligible entities (commonly Community Action Agencies), CSBG Lead Agencies at the state level, state and local human services agencies, philanthropic organizations, private employers, faith-based organizations, and other community stakeholders. While the RPIC provides coordination and support, the actual initiatives are expected to be implemented primarily by CSBG-eligible entities using their regular CSBG formula funds (the funds distributed to eligible entities through the state) along with additional cash or in-kind contributions from partner organizations. In other words, the cooperative agreement is designed to amplify and align existing CSBG-funded work and partner resources, rather than replace them.
The RPICs responsibilities revolve around organizing and delivering T/TA that improves both community-level strategies and the operational capacity of the CSBG network. This includes coordinating technical assistance plans across the region, helping partners leverage existing resources, and assisting communities in selecting and tracking individual-, family-, and community-level outcome measures tied to national CSBG indicators. Alongside hands-on capacity building, RPIC grantees may also provide limited financial support to help cover planning and coordination costs connected to these community initiatives, recognizing that collaboration and multi-partner planning require dedicated time, facilitation, and infrastructure.
Another major expectation is that the RPIC will reinforce accountability and performance management across the region. The notice explicitly allows the grantee to support ongoing statewide efforts related to accountability and performance management to improve the likelihood that transformation efforts succeed. This points to support for systems like performance dashboards, data quality processes, shared reporting expectations, learning communities, peer exchanges, and improvement plans that tie local practice to state and federal performance requirements.
Finally, the RPIC is expected to help CSBG Lead Agencies, State Community Action Agency Associations, and local eligible entities meet high organizational standards across a wide set of core management and governance functions. The opportunity highlights consumer input and involvement (ensuring the voices of people served influence decisions), community engagement and community assessment (using data and resident insight to define needs and strategies), organizational leadership, board governance, strategic planning, human resource management, financial operations and oversight, and data and analysis. Taken together, these focus areas signal that OCS is looking for a consortium that can strengthen both the quality of community change strategies and the organizational fundamentals that make those strategies durable, compliant, and outcomes-driven.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), as well as other eligible entities as described in the full eligibility guidance. The intended applicant is an organization or partnership capable of operating regionally, convening diverse stakeholders, delivering high-quality T/TA, and translating CSBG performance expectations into practical tools and support that help communities achieve measurable, sustained improvements.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OCS ET 1587
