The Virginia Department of Social Services announces a Request for Proposals under the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Program for FY 2009. The full RFP is at www.dss.virginia.gov under forms and applications. For more information, contact Ann Childress at ann.childress@dss.virginia.gov or 804-726-7545.
Funds will be used to develop a variety of programs aimed at PREVENTING the factors causing child abuse and neglect with priority consideration given to evidence-based programs. The term “evidence-based” means that the proposed
prevention program involves strategies that are supported by scientific research that indicates effectiveness in improving outcomes for children and families. Priority will also be given to funding new programs or programs that have been operating less than three years. It is expected that communities will assume long term maintenance of programs. Programs designed to have an impact on a statewide basis in preventing child abuse and neglect may also apply.
The total funding for FY 2009 includes $500,000 anticipated to be available in state funds from the VFVPP for Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention and $600,000 in federal CBCAP funds.
