CVS-27-010 - Whole Family/ Two Generation Pilot Program

The Virginia Department of Social Services is soliciting proposals under solicitation CVS-27-010 to continue the Whole Family (Two Generation) Pilot Project. This initiative aims to test and refine multi-generational strategies to improve family stability and economic mobility across the Commonwealth. The program is divided into two categories: Category 1 for agencies already operating a Whole Family program capable of starting direct services by February 1, 2027, and Category 2 for agencies requiring a readiness and implementation period. Participating Community Action Agencies will be expected to serve a minimum of ten to fifteen families, providing at least one coaching session per family per month and developing integrated service plans. The project emphasizes trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices and requires the formalization of partnerships across health, education, and housing sectors through Memorandums of Understanding. The initial period of performance is 17 months, running from February 1, 2027, through June 30, 2028, with a potential two-year renewal option. Total grant funding is capped at 200,000 dollars. Evaluation is based on technical approach and methodology, budget reasonableness, and organizational capacity, with additional consideration given to applicants providing matching funds. Applicants must be registered with eVA, possess a valid Unique Entity Identifier in SAM, and provide an Employer Identification Number. Compliance with the Virginia Public Procurement Act, TANF funding regulations, and various federal non-discrimination acts is mandatory. Invoicing is conducted monthly via email using a designated Excel template. Proposals are limited to 50 pages and must be submitted as a single electronic file by the December 7, 2026, deadline.
