Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACF OCS ET 1122

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Regional Performance and Innovation Consortium (RPIC) Capacity Building and Quality Improvement (CBQI) - Region VI opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Community Services (OCS). It funds a three-year cooperative agreement to support one organization that will act as the Region VI leader for training and technical assistance (T/TA) across the CSBG Network. The overall purpose is to strengthen the capacity and performance of CSBG state and territory lead agencies, the CSBG State Association, and CSBG-eligible entities so they can deliver higher-quality services and supports that help individuals, families, and communities move toward and sustain economic self-sufficiency.

Because this is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), the award recipient is expected to work closely with OCS throughout the project. That partnership model means OCS will likely be involved in shaping priorities, aligning deliverables with CSBG program goals, and monitoring progress toward outcomes. A central expectation is that the recipient will identify and align regional training needs tied to capacity building and quality improvement, then design and deliver T/TA that is responsive to those needs and consistent with OCS priorities.

The required T/TA focus areas are broad and practical, aimed at improving how CSBG organizations operate and deliver services. The notice highlights organizational self-assessment (helping agencies evaluate strengths, gaps, and readiness for improvement), strategic planning for service delivery (clarifying goals, strategies, and measurable outcomes), and fostering strategic partnerships (building collaborations that expand reach and impact). It also emphasizes leveraging existing resources (using funding, community assets, and systems more effectively), worker training models (strengthening frontline and leadership skills), and standardizing processes and procedures (promoting consistency, compliance, and quality across agencies). Community Needs Assessment is another key area, reflecting CSBGs emphasis on using local data and community input to guide services and priorities.

A notable feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on using emerging and promising practices in capacity building. In practice, that means the recipient is expected to collect, track, and analyze what is working in the field, and then translate those insights into practical support for the region. The T/TA delivery methods are flexible and can include in-person or virtual regional convenings, individualized one-on-one support, webinars, training modules, podcasts, presentations, and other learning activities. The recipient must also evaluate the effectiveness of the T/TA, which implies building a feedback and measurement approach that can show whether the assistance is improving knowledge, systems, and performance across the Region VI CSBG Network.

From a funding and eligibility standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 93.569 and falls within the Income Security and Social Services activity category. The federal government expected to make one award, with an award ceiling of $400,000. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and other eligible entities as described in the funding notice’s additional eligibility information. The opportunity was posted June 5, 2023, with an application deadline of July 31, 2023, and electronic submissions were required by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date.

In short, this grant is designed to fund a single regional hub in Region VI that can coordinate, deliver, and continuously improve capacity-building and quality-improvement support for the CSBG Network. The work is expected to be hands-on, evidence-informed, and outcome-focused, with ongoing communication and coordination with OCS to ensure that training, technical assistance, and project deliverables stay aligned with CSBG’s mission and OCS priorities.
