Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACF ACYF CS 0053
The Tribal Court Improvement Program (TCIP) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Children s Bureau, designed to strengthen how tribal courts handle American Indian and Alaska Native child welfare cases. Through this program, ACF plans to fund up to four cooperative agreement projects, each lasting up to 48 months. The core purpose is to help tribal courts take a close, structured look at their current child welfare court processes and then make practical improvements that lead to better, more consistent outcomes for children and families involved in foster care and adoption related proceedings.
Funded projects are expected to focus on court assessment and court improvement work tied directly to child welfare cases. That can mean conducting a new assessment of a tribal court s handling of these cases, or using findings from a prior assessment to implement reforms. The improvements emphasized in the announcement include strengthening the quality and effectiveness of tribal court hearings and improving legal representation, which can cover issues like how hearings are conducted, how timely decisions are made, how parties are engaged and heard, how due process is supported, and whether parents, children, and caregivers have access to competent, consistent advocacy and representation throughout the life of a case.
Eligibility is targeted and rooted in the Social Security Act authority for this program. Competitive grants will be awarded among the highest courts of Indian tribes or tribal consortia that meet one of the following conditions: they are currently operating an approved Title IV-E program under section 479B; they plan to operate a Title IV-E program and have already received a Tribal Title IV-E Plan Development Grant authorized by section 476; or they have a court that is responsible for proceedings connected to foster care or adoption. The opportunity also makes clear that tribal governments that received TCIP grants in fiscal year 2018 are eligible to compete again under this announcement. At the same time, certain applicants are explicitly excluded: individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities cannot apply and would be disqualified from merit review and funding consideration.
Administratively, this opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. The program is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) number 93.586 and falls within the Income Security and Social Services activity category. The eligible applicant types identified are federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The funding opportunity number is HHS 2024 ACF ACYF CS 0053, and it was created on May 6, 2024, with an application closing date of July 9, 2024. Awards can be up to $150,000, and ACF anticipates making about four awards total, aligning with the plan to support up to four projects.Apply for HHS 2024 ACF ACYF CS 0053
