Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OCS ET 1589
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Community Services (OCS), supports the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) Program through a Regional Performance and Innovation Consortium (RPIC) focused on Human Capacity and Community Transformation Initiatives in ACF Region IX. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient in carrying out the work. The central purpose is to establish a single regional hub in Region IX that can organize and deliver targeted training, technical assistance, and coordination support to strengthen long-term community transformation efforts led by CSBG-eligible entities.
The RPIC is intended to function as a regional focal point within the CSBG Performance Management Framework. In practical terms, the consortium is expected to identify, elevate, and support multi-year initiatives that help individuals and families build skills and stability, reduce reliance on crisis supports or public assistance where appropriate, and sustain self-sufficiency over time. The emphasis is not on one-off services, but on longer-term community change strategies that improve human capacity and produce measurable outcomes. The work is expected to align with CSBG accountability expectations and the broader performance management approach used across the CSBG network.
A major feature of this opportunity is the expectation of deep regional collaboration. The RPIC-supported initiatives should bring together CSBG-eligible entities (often Community Action Agencies), state and local human services agencies, philanthropic partners, private employers, faith-based organizations, and other community stakeholders. The goal is to strengthen coordination across sectors so that communities can combine expertise, braid funding streams, and align services in ways that are more responsive to local needs. While the RPIC provides T/TA and coordination, the actual community initiatives are primarily implemented by CSBG-eligible entities using their regular CSBG formula/distribution funds, supplemented by other cash or in-kind contributions from partner organizations.
On the performance and measurement side, the RPIC must help participants build strong technical assistance plans, leverage existing resources, and select outcome measures at the individual, family, and community levels. Those measures are expected to align with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)-approved CSBG National Performance Indicators (NPIs), reinforcing a consistent approach to demonstrating results. In addition to helping initiatives define and track outcomes, the RPIC may also provide limited financial support specifically for planning and coordination costs tied to the community transformation efforts, recognizing that strong cross-partner initiatives often require dedicated convening, facilitation, and project management capacity.
Beyond initiative-level support, the RPIC can also bolster statewide work related to accountability and performance management to improve the overall readiness and consistency of the CSBG network in the region. The consortium is expected to assist CSBG Lead Agencies, State Community Action Agency (CAA) Associations, and local CSBG-eligible entities in meeting high organizational standards. The areas highlighted in the announcement cover many core elements of effective nonprofit and public-facing program management, including consumer input and involvement, community engagement and needs assessment, organizational leadership, board governance, strategic planning, human resources, financial operations and oversight, and data collection, analysis, and use for decision-making.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity (CFDA 93.569) with an anticipated single award. The maximum award amount listed is $400,000, and the government projected one recipient for Region IX. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education), along with other eligible entities as clarified in the full funding notice. The opportunity was created on May 16, 2019, with an application deadline of July 10, 2019, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen regional capacity for coordinated, outcomes-driven community transformation by pairing technical assistance leadership with performance accountability expectations across the CSBG network in ACF Region IX.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF OCS ET 1589
