What the grant funds

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), Family Violence Prevention and Services (FVPSA) Program seeks to award one cooperative agreement under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, to establish and maintain one Culturally Specific Sexual Assault Capacity Building Center (CSSAC) for the African American Community that will enhance intervention and prevention efforts for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and family violence for members of racial and ethnic minority groups including African Americans. The CSSAC grant recipients are part of a network of National, Special Issue, Culturally Specific, and Capacity Building Resource Centers providing leadership, training, technical assistance, resources, and support to programs and systems serving victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and their children. The awards will be cooperative agreements, which is an award instrument used when substantial involvement is anticipated between the awarding office and the grant recipient during performance of the contemplated project. FYSB will collaborate with the grant recipient throughout the project period.
