Child Abuse Prevention in Migrant and Tribal Communities

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is accepting applications for the Child Abuse Prevention in Migrant and Tribal Communities program. This program aims to support community-based efforts in tribal and migrant communities to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect. The program will fund projects that develop, operate, expand, enhance, and coordinate initiatives, programs, and activities to reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect. • The program will support projects that focus on building protective factors that help tribal and/or migrant children, youth, and families build resilience and develop skills, characteristics, knowledge, and relationships that decrease risk and contribute to positive outcomes. • Successful projects will demonstrate measurable progress toward increasing access to family support and prevention services tailored to the needs of tribal and/or migrant families, improving child safety and well-being, and increasing knowledge and implementation of evidence-informed practices to prevent child abuse and neglect. • The program will fund at least one tribal organization or Indian tribe and at least one migrant organization. • The expected project start date is September 30, 2026, and the project period is five years.
