Section 1115 Demonstration Grants--Projects that Provide Family-Centered Services for Unwed Parents in the IV-D Caseload

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), invites applications from State Title IV-D agencies for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 funding of demonstration activities intended to add to the knowledge and to promote the objectives of the Child Support Enforcement Program under Section 1115 and Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Only State Title IV-D agencies or the umbrella agencies of which they are a part are eligible to apply for these grants. OCSE invites eligible applicants to propose projects that promote both agreed upon child support orders and custody and visitation orders for unwed parents. Grantees are encouraged to work with the existing access and visitation programs in their jurisdictions.
