OCDEL’s Bureau of Early Intervention Services and Family Supports would award funds for the programs, which consist of community-based, high-quality evidence-based home visiting (EBHV) services, as well as three categories of enhancements to evidence-informed programs, EBHV model enhancements, and program enhancements.
About Family Support Programs
Family Support Programs help families to access a broad array of supports and services, including formal supports (such as EBHV and parenting classes), informal supports (such as providing resources and connecting families to services in the community), and a community system of services that promote the well-being of families and their children.
Such services can take many different forms, depending on the strengths and needs of the family, but the overarching goal is to help caregivers enhance skills and resolve problems to promote optimal child development
Applicants must apply to implement as least one EBHV model, and may apply to implement one or more enhancements.
Applications must be received no later than Tuesday, October 13, while questions must be submitted by Tuesday, September 15 and answers to potential applicant questions will be posted by Tuesday, September 22.
