Opportunity description

The Office of Community Services (OCS), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), intends to issue a funding opportunity for a cooperative agreement for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Strengthening CSBG Outcomes: Performance Management, Data Collection, and Compliance Support.This NOFO will promote a national competition to identify one organization to support CSBG states, territories, and eligible entities with performance management activities, including data collection and reporting as well as approaches to remedy issues of non-compliance resulting from monitoring visits. This cooperative agreement builds on a national infrastructure for CSBG performance excellence by supporting data quality, outcome measurement, and the annual Report to Congress. This investment emphasizes practical capacity building—enabling states, territories, and eligible entities to translate data into actionable insights designed to inform and improve CSBG program outcomes.This cooperative agreement builds off a previous NOFO and enhances the CSBG Performance Management Framework by emphasizing training and technical assistance (T/TA) that helps the CSBG network translate data into actionable insights designed to improve CSBG impacts, outcomes, and accountability.
