Child Abuse Prevention in Migrant and Tribal Communities

This funding opportunity supports community-based initiatives in tribal and migrant communities aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect before they occur, in alignment with Title II of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. At least one percent of Title II funds are reserved specifically for tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs to develop, expand, and coordinate strategies that build protective factors such as parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need, and social and emotional competence of children. Projects must demonstrate measurable outcomes in increasing access to culturally appropriate family support services, enhancing child safety and well-being, and implementing evidence-informed practices tailored to the unique needs of these communities. The goal is to foster resilience and positive developmental outcomes by strengthening family systems and reducing risk factors through preventive, community-driven approaches.
