The Administration for Children and Families, Administration on
Children, Youth and Families, Family Youth Services Bureau announces
the availability and request for applications for its FY 2004 Family
Violence Prevention and Services discretionary grants.
Legislative Authority
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (the Act) was
originally enacted in sections 301-313 of Title III of the ``Child
Abuse Amendments of 1984'' (Pub. L. 98-457, 10/9/84). The Act was
reauthorized and otherwise amended by the ``Child Abuse Prevention,
Adoptions, and Family Services Act of 1988'' (Pub. L. 100-294, 4/25/
88); the ``Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Adoption, and Family
Services Act of 1992'' (Pub. L. 102-295, 5/28/92); the ``Safe Homes for
Women Act of 1994,'' Subtitle B of the ``Violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act of 1994'' (Pub. L. 103-322, 9/13/94); and the ``Child
Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act Amendments of 1996'' (Pub. L. 104-
235, 10/3/96); and the ``Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection
Act of 2000'' (Pub. L. 106-386, 10/28/00). The Act was most recently
amended by the ``Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003'' (Pub.
L. 108-36).
Purpose
The purpose of the priority area is to support the collaborative
planning and development of innovative, comprehensive and replicable
services for responding to violence against women and men with
disabilities. Projects funded under this priority area will address the
needs of disabled persons in order to remove the barriers they face to
accessing safety and justice. It is anticipated that some of these
grants will support the initial design of collaborative initiatives and
some will support efforts presently underway at a State, tribal, county
or local level.
Successful applicants will be required to demonstrate collaboration
between recognized domestic violence service providers or state and
tribal domestic violence coalitions and agencies providing services
for, or involved with, the institution, maintenance and/or development
of policy on the needs of persons with disabilities who have been
abused. Collaborations may also include faith-based programs working
with the disabled community.
Background
The definition of abuse is generally expanded in relation to its
occurrence with persons with disabilities to include neglect leading to
physical harm, abandonment, desertion or neglect of duties by a
caregiver, or inappropriate language or intimidation. Both males and
females with disabilities are at increased risk of abuse due to
reliance on their caregivers. For a disabled person, there are unique
dynamics to both the power and control issues present in all abusive
relationships and the actual form that abuse can manifest. The
complexity of the relationship between a person who is disabled and
their partner is as multi-faceted as the types of disabilities existent
and the possible degrees of severity of those disabilities. Disabled
people are at risk for experiencing abuse that is specifically related
to their disability support needs. The fear of not having their basic
needs met when assistance is not provided, fear of
institutionalization; the denial of the physical or emotional pain
resulting from the disability are just some particulars to the abusive
relationship. Removing the battery from a power wheelchair, putting a
walker out of reach, or taking a phone away can be similar to locking
that person in a closet.
Because many of these forms of abuse are little known and go
unrecognized, abused persons with disabilities are isolated and
underserved. With no appropriate red flags, service providers
inadvertently create barriers to the disclosures of such abuse. Women,
and men, who disclose that they have experienced abuse need to be
further assessed for factors that may place them at increased risk. For
the abused, these factors silently exacerbate if the appropriate
assessment and safety planning that needs to be available is not put
into place.
The ability to provide services that truly address the needs of the
abused disabled person is reliant on, at minimum, providing service
providers with supports that are tested and accepted for use with
persons who are not disabled but supports that are informed and
structured to address the physical, attitudinal and programmatic
barriers of abused persons.
The development of intervention techniques such as domestic
violence screening questions, case management and the establishment of
policies and procedures that relate to and illuminate the
interconnectedness of the disability and abuse would ensure and
accelerate access to essential services. Projects will
[[Page 34171]]
address the needs of persons with disabilities in order to remove the
barriers they face through the enhancement of resource material,
curricula and relevant products.
Minimum Requirements
Using the combined expertise of the domestic violence community and
the community of persons with disabilities the project should:
Propose major collaborations between domestic violence
practitioners and disability organizations for the purpose of
maximizing the ability of service providers to respond to a person who
has the dual challenges of being abused and disabled. These
collaborations should be supported through commitment and collaboration
letters indicating the understanding and extent of the role of the
organizations involved.
Develop educational material that allows for recognition
of abuse from both the victims' and the domestic violence service
provider's point of view. This material should clarify the nature of
the abuse, validate the person's experience and address the abusive
environment correctly.
Develop succinct, disability specific materials, in an
easily replicated, conveniently structured and distributable format
describing best practices as to the detection and intervention of abuse
among the disabled. for the use of service providers.
Develop a product dissemination strategy by which this
information could best be directed to organizations and institution for
maximum application to disabled persons who might be experiencing
abuse.

2. Matching
Matching funds are required for applications submitted under this
program announcement.
Grantees must provide at least 25 percent of the total approved
cost of the project. The total approved cost of the project is the sum
of the ACF share and the non-federal share. The non-federal share may
be met by cash or in-kind contributions, although applicants are
encouraged to meet their match requirements through cash contributions.
For example, in order to meet the match requirements, a project with a
total approved cost of $66,666, must provide a non-federal share of at
least $16,666 (25% of total approved project cost of $66,666). Grantees
will be held accountable for commitments of non-federal resources even
if over the amount of the required match. Failure to provide the amount
will result in disallowance of Federal funds.

4. Intergovernmental Review
State Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
This program is covered under Executive Order (E.O.) 12372,
``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs'', and 45 CFR Part 100,
``Intergovernmental Review of Department of Health and Human Services
Programs and Activities''. Under the Order, States may design their own
processes for reviewing and commenting on proposed Federal assistance
under covered programs.
As of October 2003, of the most recent SPOC list, the following
jurisdictions have elected not to participate in the Executive Order
process. Applicants from these jurisdictions or for projects
administered by federally-recognized Indian Tribes need take no action
in regard to E.O. 12372: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Palau, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont,
Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.
Although the jurisdictions listed above no longer participate in
the process, entities which have met the eligibility requirements of
the program are still eligible to apply for a grant even if a State,
Territory, Commonwealth, etc. does not have a SPOC. All remaining
jurisdictions participate in the Executive Order process and have
established SPOCs. Applicants from participating jurisdictions should
contact their SPOCs as soon as possible to alert them of the
prospective applications and receive instructions. Applicants must
submit any required material to the SPOCs as soon as possible so that
the program office can obtain and review SPOC comments as part of the
award process. The applicant must submit all required materials, if
any, to the SPOC and indicate the date of this submittal (or the date
of contact if no submittal is required) on the Standard Form 424, item
16a. Under 45 CFR 100.8(a) (2), a SPOC has 60 days from the application
deadline to comment on proposed new or competing continuation awards.
SPOCs are encouraged to eliminate the submission of routine
endorsements as official recommendations. Additionally, SPOCs are
requested to clearly differentiate between mere advisory comments and
those official State process recommendations which may trigger the
``accommodate or explain'' rule.
When comments are submitted directly to ACF, they should be
addressed to: Department of Health and Human Services, Administration
for Children and Families, Division of Discretionary Grants, 370
L'Enfant Promenade, SW., and Washington, DC 20447.
The official list, including addresses, of the jurisdictions
elected to participate in E.O. 12372 can be found on the following URL:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/spoc.html.
5. Funding Restrictions
ACY will not fund any project where the role of the applicant is to
serve as a conduit for funds to organizations other than the applicant.
The applicant must have a substantive role in the implementation of the
project for which the funding is requested. This prohibition does not
bar the making of sub-grants or sub-contracting for specific services
or activities needed to conduct the project.
Applicants that fail to include the required match will be
considered non-responsive and will not be eligible for funding under
this announcement.
6. Other Submission Requirements
Electronic Address to Submit Applications: http://www.Grants.Gov.
Please see Section IV. 2. Content and Form of Application
Submission, for guidelines and requirements when submitting
applications electronically.
V. Application Review Information
1. Criteria
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13)
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is
estimated to average 25 hours per response, including the time for
reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed and
reviewing the collection information. This program announcement does
not contain information requirements beyond those approved for ACF
grant applications under OMB control number 0970-0139. An agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The following are instructions on how to prepare the ``project
summary/abstract'' and ``Full Project Description'' sections of the
application. Note that each criterion is preceded by the generic
evaluation requirement under the ACF Uniform Project Description (UPD).
Approach
Outline a plan of action describing how the proposed work will be
accomplished. Account for all functions and activities described in the
application and cite factors which might accelerate or decelerate your
work, stating reasons for the approach you have taken. Describe any
unusual features of the project such as design and or technological
innovations, reductions in cost or time, or extraordinary social or
community involvement.
Objectives and Need for Assistance
Clearly identify the problem(s) requiring a solution. The need for
assistance must be demonstrated and the principal and subordinate
objectives of the project must be clearly stated. Any relevant data
should be included or referred to in the endnotes or footnotes.
Demographic data and participant/beneficiary information should be
included as needed.
Results or Benefits Expected
For example, describe how the increased collaboration between
service agencies and their programs and the domestic violence service
providers would make available an increase in effective services
delivery and information to individuals who may find themselves in
abusive situations.
Organizational Profiles
Provide information on the applicant organization(s) and
cooperating partners, contact numbers and telephone numbers,
documentation of experience in the program and other pertinent
information. Any non-profit organization submitting an application must
submit proof of its non-profit status in its application at the time of
submission.
Budget and Budget Justification
Budget line item details and detailed calculations for each budget
class identified on the budget information
[[Page 34174]]
form. Detailed calculations must include estimation methods,
quantities, unit costs where applicable, and other similar quantitative
detail sufficient for the calculation to be duplicated. The detailed
budget must include a breakout by the funding sources identified in
Block 15 of the SF 424.
Evaluation Criteria
Approach (30 points)
The extent to which the application outlines a sound and workable
plan of action pertaining to the scope of the project, and details how
the proposed work will be accomplished; relates each task to the
objectives and identifies the key staff member who will be the lead
person; provides a chart indicating the timetable for completing each
task, the lead person, and the time committed; cites factors which
might accelerate or decelerate the work, giving acceptable reasons for
taking this approach as opposed to others; describes and supports any
unusual features of the project, such as design or technological
innovations, reductions in cost or time, or extraordinary social and
community involvement; and provides for projections of the
accomplishments to be achieved.
The extent to which, when applicable, the application describes the
evaluation methodology that will be used to determine if the needs
identified and discussed are being met and if the results and benefits
identified are being achieved.
Objectives and Need for the Project (20 Points)
The extent to which the need for the project and the problems it
will address have national and local significance; the applicability of
the project to coordination efforts by national, Tribal, State and
local governmental and non-profit agencies, and its ultimate impact on
domestic violence prevention services and intervention efforts,
policies and practice; the relevance of other documentation as it
relates to the applicant's knowledge of the need for the project; and
the identification of the specific topic or program area to be served
by the project. Maps and other graphic aids may be attached. The extent
to which the specific goals and objectives have national or local
significance, the clarity of the goals and objectives as they relate to
the identified need for and the overall purpose of the project, and
their applicability to policy and practice. The provision of a detailed
discussion of the objectives and of the extent to which they are
realistic, specific, and achievable.
Results and Benefits (20 Points)
The extent to which the application identifies the results and
benefits to be derived, the extent to which they are consistent with
the objectives of the application, the extent to which the application
indicates the anticipated contributions to policy, practice, and
theory, and the extent to which the proposed project costs are
reasonable in view of the expected results. Identify, in specific
terms, the results and benefits, for target groups and human service
providers, to be derived from implementing the proposed project.
Organizational Profiles (15 Points)
The extent to which the participating organizations and entities
have discussed, through letters and other documentation, the proposed
collaboration and cooperation. Assess the extent to which the financial
and physical resources provided by the participating entities will be
adequate and to what extent will the coordinating organizations
participate in the day to day operations of the project.
Budget (15 Points)
Relate the proposed budget to the level of effort required to
obtain the project's objectives and provide a cost/benefit analysis.
Demonstrate that the project's costs are reasonable in view of the
anticipated results. Applications will be evaluated on the extent to
which they include a budget that is concise and provides a detailed
justification of the amount of Federal funds that are requested.
2. Review and Selection Process
Initial ACYF Screening
Each application submitted to ACYF will be screened to determine
whether it was received by the closing date and time.
Applications received by the closing date and time will be screened
for completeness and conformity with the following requirements. Only
complete applications that meet the requirements listed below will be
reviewed and evaluated competitively. Other applications will be
returned to the applicants with a notation that they were unacceptable
and will not be reviewed.
All applications must comply with the following requirements except
as noted:
ACYF Evaluation of Applications
Applications that pass the initial ACYF screening will be reviewed
and rated by a panel based on the program elements and review criteria
presented in relevant sections of this program announcement.
The review criteria are designed to enable the review panel to
assess the quality of a proposed project and determine the likelihood
of its success. The criteria are closely related to each other and are
considered as a whole in judging the overall quality of an application.
The review panel awards points only to applications that are responsive
to the program elements and relevant review criteria within the context
of this program announcement.
The ACYF Commissioner and program staff use the reviewer scores
when considering competing applications. Reviewer scores will weigh
heavily in funding decisions, but will not be the only factors
considered.
Applications generally will be considered in order of the average
scores assigned by the review panel. Because other important factors
are taken into consideration, highly ranked applications are not
guaranteed funding. These other considerations include, for example:
The timely and proper completion by the applicant of projects funded
with ACYF funds granted in the last five (5) years; comments of
reviewers and government officials; staff evaluation and input; amount
and duration of the grant requested and the proposed project's
consistency and harmony with ACYF goals and policy; geographic
distribution of applications; previous program performance of
applicants; compliance with grant terms under previous HHS grants,
including the actual dedication to program of mobilized resources as
set forth in project applications; audit reports; investigative
reports; and applicant's progress in resolving any final audit
disallowance on previous ACYF or other Federal agency grants.
VI. Award Administration Information
1. Award Notices
