Grant to City of Newark, New Jersey ACF/ACYF/CB-99-08

AGENCY: Administration on Children, Youth and Families, ACF, DHHS.

ACTION: Notice of award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that ACYF will award grant funds 
without competition to the City of Newark, New Jersey. This grant is a 
sole source award which will support a pilot program entitled Newark 
KIDS which seeks to assist children affected by domestic violence. This 
award is made noncompetitively after out review of a proposal by the 
City for a program which presents a unique opportunity to produce 
meaningful and useful results in an area of significant interest to 
ACF.
    The Newark KIDS project is expected to assist children affected by 
domestic violence by helping them to access appropriate resources. The 
project proposes to test a model of service delivery for children who 
would not ordinarily be removed from their homes built on intensive 
case management with well-integrated wrap-around community-based 
services. The training and treatment components of the model will be 
coordinated by a local university or university hospital.
    The project also includes an evaluation component that will be 
managed by a university partner. We therefore expect the project to 
generate findings which will allow us to assess the benefits of the 
model used, and which will help us to determine whether the Newark KIDS 
program can serve as a model for possible replication in other 
locations.
    The project period will be for 24 months, beginning September 30, 
1999 and ending September 29, 2001. The grantee will be awarded 
$200,000 for use during the first twelve months of the project period 
be awarded additional noncompetive continuation funding of up to 
$200,000 depending on the availability of funds, satisfactory 
performance by the grantee, and a determination that such continued 
funding would be in the best interest of the government.

    Authority: This award will be made pursuant to the Child Abuse 
Prevention and Treatment Act, U.S.C. 5106. (CFDA 93.670)
