Abstract
OCS announces the intent to award a supplement in the amount of up to $3.6 million ($1.2 million per year for 3 fiscal years at $400,000 per individual award) to three Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) award recipients under Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO): Regional Performance and Innovation Consortia (RPIC) (HHS-2019-ACF-OCS- ET-1582, HHS-2019-ACF-OCS-ET-1586, and HHS-2019-ACF-OCS-ET-1587). The purpose of the RPIC awards is to support robust regional training and technical (T/TA) strategies for the CSBG Network--states, territories, directly-funded tribes and tribal organizations, and CSBG-eligible entities, and state associations within the 10 ACF regions. The RPICs are designed to assist in meeting high organizational standards in the areas of consumer input and involvement, community engagement, community assessment, organizational leadership, board governance, strategic planning, human resource management, financial operations and oversight, and data and analysis. In addition, the RPICs identify, promote, and support multiyear T/TA efforts to ensure high-quality programs and services and impactful outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.

AGENCY: Office of Community Services (OCS), Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice of issuance of supplements.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: OCS announces the intent to award a supplement in the amount
of up to $3.6 million ($1.2 million per year for 3 fiscal years at
$400,000 per individual award) to three Community Services Block Grant
(CSBG) award recipients under Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO):
Regional Performance and Innovation Consortia (RPIC) (HHS-2019-ACF-OCS-
ET-1582, HHS-2019-ACF-OCS-ET-1586, and HHS-2019-ACF-OCS-ET-1587). The
purpose of the RPIC awards is to support robust regional training and
technical (T/TA) strategies for the CSBG Network--states, territories,
directly-funded tribes and tribal organizations, and CSBG-eligible
entities, and state associations within the 10 ACF regions. The RPICs
are designed to assist in meeting high organizational standards in the
areas of consumer input and involvement, community engagement,
community assessment, organizational leadership, board governance,
strategic planning, human resource management, financial operations and
oversight, and data and analysis. In addition, the RPICs identify,
promote, and support multiyear T/TA efforts to ensure high-quality
programs and services and impactful outcomes for individuals, families,
and communities.
DATES: The proposed period of performance is September 30, 2023, to
September 29, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Fiscal Year 2023, OCS published a total
of 11 separate new competitive grant opportunities for the RPIC, each
corresponding to a specific ACF region.\1\ Each NOFO mandated that
applicants must be physically located in the ACF region of their
application. As the merit review process was initiated, OCS identified
that Regions 3, 6, and 7 were not represented by eligible applicants
due to their inadvertent error of applying for a different region's
NOFO rather than their own. This supplement will enable the current
award recipients to support and sustain the continuance of vital
regional CSBG T/TA strategies and activities to align the period of
performance, activities, timelines, and OCS oversight among all CSBG
regional T/TA award recipients.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Note: Due to the size of Region 4, OCS funds two RPICs in
the region (4a and 4b).
