2024000068 - Community Based Child Abuse Prevention Implementation Sites

The Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC) ensures the delivery of a comprehensive, community-informed, data-driven, high-quality, and equitable early childhood system that supports the
care, education, and well-being of all of Colorado’s young children, their families, and early childhood professionals in all settings. The services solicited through this Request for Application (RFA) support the agency's vision that “All Colorado children, families, and early childhood professionals are valued, healthy, and thriving.” This RFA is made available as part of the Community Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) funding out of the Office on Child Abuse and Neglect (OCAN) at the Children’s Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, Health, and Human Services. The administration of funds is managed by the Family Strengthening Unit (FSU), Office of Program Delivery (OPD) in the CDEC. The FSU is dedicated to preventing child maltreatment and includes home visiting and family support programs. The unit
administers programs that provide families and communities across Colorado with the resources needed to strengthen families, build protective factors, and ensure children can thrive. The CDEC is seeking Applications from eligible entities with the knowledge and capacity to implement one or more strategies of their current, local child maltreatment prevention plan, which was developed using the Child Maltreatment Prevention Framework for Action in partnership with the local county human services department. Currently the grants are focused on selecting one implementation site per county, up to 5 counties.
