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.
