What the grant funds

The Office of Community Services (OCS) announces the availability of funds for a Diaper Distribution Demonstration and Research Pilot (DDDRP). OCS anticipates awarding approximately $29 million available through fourteen cooperative agreements to eligible Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) state associations, tribes that were funded directly by the CSBG in fiscal year (FY) 2025, and the CSBG-funded territories. The Diaper Distribution Demonstration Research Pilot (DDDRP) is a demonstration program, designed to evaluate the implementation and impact of the DDDRP program. Specifically, the purpose is to test the ability of CAAs and other non-profit community organizations to 1) deliver a continuous, sufficient supply of diapers to caregivers and children with low incomes, who are American citizens or eligible residents, and to 2) improve these families overall health and economic well-being. There are five areas for activities. 1. Establishing diaper distribution partnerships with local service organizations to operate and expand diaper distribution programs.2. Providing training and technical assistance (T/TA) to help diaper distribution partners expand and/or strengthen existing diaper distribution programs. 3. Working with diaper distribution partners to make bulk purchases and ensure economies of scale. 4. Referring families receiving diapers to appropriate services that promote family stability, employment, and economic self-sufficiency and mobility. 5.Participating fully in the federal evaluation of DDDRP.
