Abstract: Under RPG, CB has issued 21 grants (17 grants under RPG2 and 4 grants under RPG3) to organizations such as child welfare or substance use disorder treatment providers or family court systems to develop interagency collaborations and provide services designed to increase well-being, improve permanency, and enhance the safety of children who are in an out-of-home placement or are at risk of being placed in out-of-home care as a result of a parent’s or caretaker’s substance use disorder. CB required RPG grantees to use evidence-based or evidence-informed programs to deliver services to children, adults, and families. The overall objective of the RPG Cross-Site Evaluation is to plan, develop, and implement a rigorous national cross-site evaluation of the RPG Grant Program, provide legislatively-mandated performance measurement, and furnish evaluation-related technical assistance to the grantees to improve the quality and rigor of their local evaluations. The project will document the programs and activities conducted through the RPG program and assess the extent to which the grants have been successful in addressing the needs of families with substance use disorders who come to the attention of the child welfare system.
