Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2021 ACF ACYF EV 1936
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants: Culturally Specific Special Issue Resource Centers (CSSIRCs) opportunity is a federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and its Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA). The goal is to strengthen domestic violence intervention and prevention for survivors within specific racial and ethnic minority communities by creating and sustaining three national-level Culturally-Specific Special Interest Resource Centers. These centers are intended to focus on the needs, barriers, and culturally grounded strategies most relevant to African American communities, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, and Latino/Latina communities.
The program anticipates making three awards total, one for each culturally specific focus area. Each award can be up to $1,000,000 (award ceiling), and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In practical terms, that means the federal program office expects to be actively involved during the project, not just at the start and end. FYSB plans to collaborate with each recipient throughout the project period, which typically includes ongoing coordination, shared planning, and regular communication about deliverables, priorities, and how the work aligns with FVPSA objectives.
The CSSIRCs are not meant to operate as direct service providers in the way local shelters or victim service agencies do. Instead, they function as resource hubs within a broader national network of resource centers, which includes National, Special Issue, Culturally Specific, and Capacity Building Resource Centers. Through that network, the CSSIRCs are expected to provide leadership, training, technical assistance, and practical resources that help strengthen programs and systems serving domestic violence victims and their children. That can include building culturally and linguistically responsive practices, supporting community-based organizations, improving service accessibility, and helping systems (like victim service programs and allied agencies) respond more effectively to survivors from the focus populations.
Eligible applicants are fairly broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status, and other entities as described in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the associated CFDA number is 93.592. The opportunity was posted on April 22, 2021, with an application deadline of June 21, 2021. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to invest in national capacity and culturally specific expertise, so that domestic violence programs and partner systems have stronger tools, training, and culturally grounded guidance for serving African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and Latino/Latina survivors, while also ensuring close federal partnership through the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for HHS 2021 ACF ACYF EV 1936
