SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Family Assistance (OFA), Division of State and Territory TANF
Management (DSTTM) announces the award of a single-source cooperative
agreement of $1,500,000 to Rubicon Programs, Inc., in Richmond, CA.
The cooperative agreement will support a demonstration pilot
project for responsible fatherhood activities authorized by the Claims
Resolution Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-291). The Community-Centered
Responsible Fatherhood Ex-Prisoner Reentry Pilot Project supports
programs that are designed to offer community-centered, pre- and post-
release responsible fatherhood and supportive services to formerly
incarcerated fathers. The primary purpose of the program is to
eliminate barriers to social and economic self-sufficiency for
individuals preparing to reenter their communities, or those who have
recently returned to their communities following incarceration. The
project will implement three legislatively specified activities:
Healthy marriage, responsible parenting, and economic stability.
The project will implement a program that includes comprehensive
case management to strengthen father, couple, and family relationships
and that connect formerly incarcerated fathers to employment, housing
(when necessary), and other needed support services to help reduce the
likelihood of recidivism. It is expected that the full project period
will be 24 months so that, based on performance; the recipient may
receive an additional noncompetitive award in Fiscal Year 2013.
DATES: September 30, 2012-September 29, 2013.
