-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF),
Administration for Children Youth and Families (ACYF), Children's
Bureau announces the award of a single-source supplement grant in the
amount of $547,000 to the National Child Welfare Capacity Building
Center for Tribes (CBCT), operated by the University of Denver
(Colorado Seminary). The primary goal of this grant is to provide
capacity-building services to title IV-E and IV-B American Indian and
Alaska Native Nations (AI/AN), and to promote intergovernmental
collaboration between tribes and state child welfare agencies in system
improvement work.
DATES: Supplemental funding will support activities and costs from

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Roshanda Shoulders, Children's
Bureau, 330 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20024. Telephone: 202-401-
5323; email: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplemental funds would be used to enhance
the development and delivery of high-quality products and services
designed to build the capacities of child welfare systems to improve
outcomes for AI/AN children, youth, and families and their communities.
These enhanced services will build on CBCT's existing engagement and
partnerships with state and tribal child welfare agencies to further
address the needs of, and reduce disparities for, native children and
families (e.g., rates of removal and placement in out-of-home care,
access to effective and culturally appropriate services, well-being
outcomes), and improve overall child welfare services delivery and
outcomes for AI/AN children youth and families.
The supplemental funding will afford CBCT the opportunity to
provide expanded universal and tailored technical assistance to tribes
across the nation and allow for expanded and enhanced collaboration and
coordination with the other capacity building providers.
The programmatic components targeted under this supplement will be
for CBCT expansion activities to better meet the national need for
universal and tailored services to tribal child welfare agencies. Over
180 tribes are eligible to receive capacity-building services through
CBCT based on their management of title IV-B and tribal title IV-E
funded programs. There has been a concerted outreach effort to
encourage a maximum number of tribes to access services through CBCT.
Statutory Authority: Section 426(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security
Act (42 U.S.C. 626(a)(1)(A)).
