PART I: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Program Overview
Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) programs, which are authorized as part of the
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), have a rich history of promoting efforts to
support families and prevent child maltreatment. 1 The law emphasizes support for community-based
efforts to develop, operate, expand, enhance, and coordinate initiatives, programs, and activities to
prevent child abuse and neglect. CAPTA also stresses the importance of identifying parent leaders
and involving parents, including members from underrepresented and underserved groups, in the
planning, implementation, and improvement of community-based child abuse prevention programs.
In Information Memorandum ACYF-CB-IM-19-03, CB emphasized that family and youth voice are
critical to a well-functioning child welfare system and strongly encouraged collaborative efforts to
ensure that family and youth voice are central in child welfare program planning and improvement
efforts. These partnerships also offer the opportunity to understand the unique strengths and needs of
the communities and to develop approaches that are effective in reaching families facing a range of
challenges. Moreover, CB recognizes that effective primary prevention services must be located in
communities where families live, where they are easily accessible, and culturally responsive.
CAPTA further promotes the use of evidence-based and evidence-informed programs and practices
that effectively strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect. This includes efforts to
improve the evaluation capacity of the states and communities to assess progress of their programs
and collaborative networks in enhancing the safety and well-being of children and families. The
CBCAP conceptual framework provides an overview of the primary purposes of the law; the
relationship between the underlying conditions the program seeks to address, and the main activities
funded (directly and indirectly); the outputs; and the short-term, intermediate, and long-term
outcomes for the program (See Attachment 1). Furthermore, CBCAP state lead agencies are
encouraged to fund programs, services and resources that enhance community capacity to address the
basic and complex needs of families, build protective factors, and contribute to the healthy, positive,
and productive functioning of children and youth into adulthood.
The Children’s Bureau’s Priorities for Creating an Equitable Child Welfare System
The purpose of CBCAP programs includes fostering an understanding, appreciation, and knowledge
of diverse populations to be effective in preventing and treating child abuse and neglect (Sec.
201(1)(a)). As CBCAP state lead agencies carry out ongoing projects and prepare submissions for
fiscal year (FY) 2023 funding, the Children’s Bureau (CB) urges CBCAP state lead agencies to
consider how the following priority areas identified by CB to create a more equitable child welfare
system may inform their CBCAP programs.
On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 13985, “Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.” This Executive Order
defined the term “equity” as the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all
individuals, including those who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such
treatment, such as Black, Latino, Indigenous and Native American, Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders, and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual,

transgender, and queer persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons
otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.
Agencies across the federal government, including the Administration for Children and Families
(ACF) and CB, are committed to advancing equity through our work at the federal level and with
states, territories, tribes, and all other grantees. On February 2, 2022, ACF issued Information
Memorandum ACF-IOAS-22-01 on Equity in Action: Prioritizing and Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities. 2 This IM expresses ACF’s unequivocal commitment to
advancing racial equity for all and calls for transformational leadership at all levels to ensure that
Americans of all racial and ethnic backgrounds can reach their full potential. ACF strongly
encourages its grantees to assess and address how its programs and policies may perpetuate systemic
barriers for children and families of color.
On June 15, 2022, President Biden also signed Executive Order 14075 entitled, “Advancing Equality
for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals (LGBTQI+).”3 The
purpose of the Executive Order is to outline specific actions each federal agency is to take to combat
unlawful discrimination and eliminate disparities that harm LGBTQI+ individuals and their families,
defend their rights and safety, and pursue a comprehensive approach to delivering the full promise of
equality for LGBTQI+ individuals. The Executive Order directed CB to partner with state child
welfare agencies to help address and eliminate disparities in the child welfare system experienced by
LGBTQI+ children, parents, and caregivers, including: the over-representation of LGBTQI+ youth
in the child welfare system, and in congregate placements; disproportionately high rates of abuse,
and placements in unsupportive or hostile environments faced by LGBTQI+ youth in foster care;
disproportionately high rates of homelessness faced by LGBTQI+ youth who exit foster care; and
discrimination faced by LGBTQI+ parents, kin, and foster and adoptive families.
Both Executive Orders provide a challenge and framework to thoughtfully identify and address
opportunities to advance equity in child welfare policy and practice. Throughout this program
instruction, CB has highlighted areas where we ask grantees to take steps to better understand and
address inequities that exist in the front end of their respective child welfare, legal/judicial, law
enforcement, and other related partner systems, and pay specific attention to opportunities for
advancing equity within the populations that they serve. As you prepare your annual program report
submission, we encourage you to analyze available data to identify equity issues, examine how
equity considerations inform planned use of funding, and consider outreach strategies and efforts to
engage underserved populations and those with lived experience in planning activities. Undertaking
this work together, we can start to understand and address persistent inequities in child welfare
services and chart a course to improve the lives of the children, youth, and families that we serve.

The term “LGBTQI+” is used in the Executive Order to be inclusive of individuals who have non-conforming
gender identity or expression. The remainder of this Program Instruction will use “LGBTQIA2S+” to recognize
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual people collectively and also be inclusive of the
Two-Spirit community (https://www.ihs.gov/lgbt/health/twospirit/).
4
Racial inequity and disparities can be seen along the entirety of the child welfare continuum 4 ,
including efforts to prevent child maltreatment. Nationally, African American families are
overrepresented in reports of suspected maltreatment 5 and are subjected to Child Protective Services
investigations at higher rates than other families6 . African American, and American Indian or Alaska
Native children are also at greater risk than other children of being confirmed for maltreatment and
placed in out-of-home care7 . As CBCAP grant recipients formulate plans for the coming year, they
are encouraged to take steps to better understand racial inequities that exist in their programs and
other related partner systems and pay specific attention to opportunities for advancing equity within
the populations that they serve. Many child welfare agencies have begun taking steps to address
disparities and the Children’s Bureau encourages CBCAP grant recipients to partner with them to
advance equity. Moreover, cross-system collaborative approaches attuned to and actively addressing
institutional inequities in community-based family support and child abuse prevention services are
necessary and encouraged through the CBCAP program.
The Children’s Bureau has four priority goals that are designed to improve the lives of the children
and families that we serve, and to improve the professional lives of the child welfare workforce. All
of these goals are grounded in sound child welfare practice and equity principles consistent with the
President’s Executive Orders.
Prevent Children from Coming into Foster Care
We know that child and family poverty represents a key source of family vulnerability. However,
too often, poverty and neglect are conflated leading to unnecessary child welfare involvement and
separation of children from their families. It is critical we examine both legal definitions and
frontline practice to disentangle poverty from neglect, so that we can provide meaningful support to
strengthen families, keep children safe and prevent unnecessary entries into foster care.
Another key strategy for preventing unnecessary foster care entries is to ensure that families have
access to legal services to help them advocate for needed services and resolve issues that leave them
vulnerable to potential child welfare involvement or impede permanency for children once in care.
CB is committed to expanding resources for legal representation.
Support Kinship Caregivers
Nationally, about 2.7 million children are being raised in kinship care without a parent present. The
term “kinship care” encompasses a variety of situations in which children are raised by other family
members, relative caregivers, or close non-related caregivers when the child’s parents are unable to
care for the child. While kinship caregivers provide essential support to children, they often do not

receive adequate support. Kinship caregivers outside the foster care system may receive little or no
financial support.
CB is committed to strengthening support for kinship caregivers by working with states to ensure
equitable access to licensure for relative foster care providers and by expanding kinship navigator
programs to support all kinship caregivers in learning about and gaining access to financial support,
legal assistance, and support groups. CB encourages CBCAP state lead agencies to consider how
CBCAP funding can be used to conduct outreach and engage kinship caregivers in services that
support them and the children in their care.
Ensure Youth Leave Care with Strengthened Relationships, Holistic Supports and Opportunities
We must support young adults in having a successful transition to adulthood. Youth have repeatedly
shared they need secure connections to loving adults who can guide them into adulthood after foster
care. They also tell us they need strong financial resources, as well as opportunities to develop skills
and access supports to allow them to further their education, training, and chart their life course. We
can support young people by promoting legal and relational permanency and providing robust
services and supports, including services to promote physical and mental health and well-being. We
must also ensure that youth in foster care are able to participate fully in activities that are a normal
part of the transition to adulthood, including activities at school and in their communities.
CAPTA specifically authorizes the use of CBCAP funds to provide a continuum of preventive,
family-centered services for young parents and to parents who are adult former victims of domestic
violence or child abuse or neglect. CB encourages CBCAP state lead agencies to explore
opportunities to partner with independent living programs and to actively engage with young adults
to identify and help them access effective supports and resources while in and after they exit care.
Develop and Enhance the Child Welfare Workforce
Since the beginning of the pandemic, CB has heard from states about the issue of a significantly
diminished child welfare staff recruitment pool and an increase in staff turnover rate at all levels of
agencies. The Quality Improvement Center for Workforce Development (QIC-WD) reports that
turnover in child welfare before the pandemic was six times the national average compared to other
types of jobs (QIC-WD, 2018). Other national data suggest that the annual turnover rate in child
welfare agencies ranges between 20 and 40 percent, with some areas having turnover rates as high as
90-100 percent during the pandemic.
While a high rate of staff turnover has been recognized as a widespread problem for years, it has
become clear that even basic improvements in child welfare practice and outcomes may not be
achieved without strengthening the child welfare workforce. Additional funding and innovative
strategies are desperately needed for the recruitment, training, and retention of child welfare staff to
improve the quality of child welfare practice, including strategies addressing significant secondary
traumatic stress.
CB is committed to supporting strategies for retaining current child welfare staff and exploring
new and innovative non-traditional pathways to expand agency recruitment pools. This include
prioritizing the hiring of a diverse, stable, and well-trained workforce essential to providing
culturally sensitive services to children and families from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Stabilizing, expanding, and supporting the workforce includes increasing family support
6
educational opportunities by enhancing and expanding stipends, traineeships, or other incentive
programs, including increasing access to Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work
programs. CB encourages CBCAP state lead agencies to consider strategies to help develop and
enhance the workforce in their plans to provide support, training, and technical assistance to
community-providers for child abuse and neglect prevention programs (as outlined in Section G.8.
Plans for Support, Training, Technical Assistance, and Evaluation Assistance).
CB looks forward to engaging with state agencies to address the above priorities as we jointly seek to
make meaningful progress in advancing equity and improving the lives of the children, youth, and
families that we serve.
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
In addition to regular appropriations in FY 2021, the CBCAP program and the CAPTA State Grant
both received supplemental appropriations through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021
(P.L 117-2). ARPA included $250 million in supplemental funding for the CBCAP grant program
and $100 million in supplemental funding for the CAPTA State Grant Program that remain available
for expenditure through September 30, 2025. As of February 2023, states had drawn down about 22
percent of the CBCAP funds available for formula grants. Therefore, CB urges state agencies to be
proactive in ensuring that these funds will be able to be used in a timely and effective manner.
CB provided guidance on the supplemental funding provided by ARPA in ACYF-CB-PI-21-07 and
ACYF-CB-IM-22-03. As discussed in that guidance, the ARPA supplemental funding for the
CAPTA State grant may be used to improve community-based child abuse prevention programs of
the state in a manner consistent with any of the purposes of CBCAP outlined in section 201(b) of
CAPTA (also outlined in Section C. Use of Funds, which can be found on page 9 of this Program
Instruction). CB strongly encourages states to use the funds in ways that advance racial equity and
provide support for those who have been historically underserved or marginalized by child welfare
systems, while ensuring the safety and well-being of all family members. We also urge states to
examine their legal definitions of neglect and prevention approaches to disentangle poverty from
neglect.
More information related to providing information on the state’s plans for and use of ARP funds
can be found in the application (Part II-G) and the report (Part II-H) sections of this Program
Instruction.
A.
PROGRAM PURPOSE
The purposes of the CBCAP program are: (1) to support community-based efforts to develop,
operate, expand, enhance, and coordinate initiatives, programs, and activities to prevent child abuse
and neglect and to support the coordination of resources and activities to better strengthen and
support families to reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect; and (2) to foster understanding,
appreciation, and knowledge of diverse populations in order to effectively prevent and treat child
abuse and neglect.
7
B.
DEFINITIONS
ACF expects that lead agencies will require local service providers to describe their services and
programs according to the definitions outlined in the law so that there are common frames of
reference within and across states in the implementation of this program. The following terms used in
this Program Instruction (PI) have the same meaning given those terms in Section 208 of CAPTA:
(1) “community referral services”; (2) “community-based and prevention-focused programs and
activities designed to prevent child abuse and neglect”; and (3) “respite care services”.
The term “community-based and prevention-focused programs and activities to strengthen and
support families to prevent child abuse and neglect” includes family resource programs, family
support programs, voluntary home visiting programs, respite care programs, parenting education,
mutual support programs and other community programs or networks of programs that provide
activities that are designed to prevent or respond to child abuse and neglect.
C.
USE OF FUNDS
Section 201(b) provides that funds made available to states under the CBCAP program must be used
for the following purposes:
1.
developing, operating, expanding, and enhancing community-based, and prevention
focused programs and activities designed to strengthen and support families to prevent
child abuse and neglect that are accessible, effective, and culturally appropriate, and build
upon existing strengths that:

underrepresented and underserved groups; and
provide referrals to early health and developmental services.
2. fostering the development of a continuum of preventive services for children and families,
including unaccompanied homeless youth, through state and community-based
collaborations and partnerships, both public and private;
3. financing the start-up, maintenance, expansion, or redesign of specific family resource and
support program community-based child abuse and neglect prevention program services
8
(such as respite care services, child abuse and neglect prevention activities, disability
services, mental health services, substance abuse treatment services, domestic violence
services, housing services, transportation, adult education, home visiting and other similar
services) identified by the inventory and description of current services required under
Section 205(a)(3) as an unmet need, and integrated with the network of community-based
family resource and support child abuse and neglect prevention program to the extent
practicable given funding levels and community priorities;
4. maximizing funding through leveraging of funds for the financing, planning, community
mobilization, collaboration, assessment, information and referral, startup, training and
technical assistance, information management and reporting, reporting and evaluation costs
for establishing, operating, or expanding community-based and prevention-focused
programs and activities designed to strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse
and neglect; and
5. financing public information activities that focus on the healthy and positive development
of parents and children and promotion of child abuse and neglect prevention activities.
D.
AVAILABILITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS
As of December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328) made available
$70,700,000 for the CBCAP program in FY2023.
A certain amount must be set aside for specific legislative purposes, including: (1) one percent of the
total appropriation “to make allotments to Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations and migrant
programs” (Section 203(a)); (2) continued funding for a National Center for CBCAP; and (3)
continued funding for program support.
The remainder of CBCAP funds will be distributed to the states and territories, as described below:
1. Grants to States:
A state8 is eligible for a grant under the CBCAP program if, in accordance with the eligibility
requirements of Section 202, the Governor has designated a lead entity to administer funds
under this program and provided certain assurances. The eligibility requirements are
described in more detail below in Section E. of this PI.
Section 203(b)(1) provides that the funds available for distribution to the states under the
CBCAP program will be allotted as follows:
In the absence of a definition in Title II, we have interpreted “STATE” as having the meaning given the term in
CAPTA, section 3(7), (i.e., “state” means each of the several states, including the District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands.)
8
9
(a)
Seventy percent (70%) of the funds will be allotted proportionately among the states
based on the number of children under age 18 residing in each state 9 , “except that no
state shall receive less than $175,000.”
(b)
Thirty percent (30%) of the funds will be allotted proportionately among the states
based on the amount of private, state, or other non-federal funds leveraged and directed
through the currently designated lead agency in the preceding fiscal year (i.e., FY 2022,
10/1/21 to 9/30/22). The requirements for leveraged funds are discussed in Part II-F.
2. Grants to Territories:
The following territories are eligible to receive funds under the CBCAP program: the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. These territories are
eligible to submit either (1) a consolidated grant application in accordance with 45 CFR Part
97, OR (2) an independent application that meets all of the requirements set forth in this PI.
Consolidated Application: If a territory chooses to submit a consolidated grant application, it
need not submit an application under this PI. An eligible territory that applies for a
consolidated grant will receive the base amount of $175,000 authorized under the CBCAP
program. These funds will be included in the territory’s consolidated grant.
Independent Application: If an eligible territory submits an independent application that
meets the requirements of this PI, the territory is also eligible to submit a claim for its
leveraged funds in accordance with Section 203(b)(1)(b) above, and receive its proportionate
share of those funds, in addition to receiving the base amount of $175,000 for its population.
If a territory’s independent application is approved, the designated lead agency of the
territory must ensure that the CBCAP grant funds it receives will be used only for the
purposes set forth in Part I of this PI.
E.
STATE ELIGIBILITY
Designation of a Lead Entity:10 Before a state can apply for a FY 2023 grant under the CBCAP
program, the Governor of the state must designate a lead entity 11 to administer the funds for the
implementation of community-based child abuse and neglect prevention programs and activities
designed to strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse and neglect (Section 202(1)(A)).
The calculation of that portion of a state’s award under paragraph (A) of the formula will be computed by ACYF,
using the most current population data provided by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.
10
The term “entity” is used with respect to a Governor’s designation of a state entity to administer the CBCAP
program. Once an entity has been designated, and for purposes of meeting the application requirements, the
term “agency” (or “lead agency”) will be used in lieu of “entity” or “lead entity”.
11
Section 202(1)(C)&(D) provides that, in determining which entity to designate, the Governor of the state
should “give priority consideration equally to a trust fund advisory board of the state or to an existing entity that
leverages Federal, state and private funds ...” Section 202(1)(D) provides that, “in the case of a state that has
designated a State trust fund advisory board [to be the lead entity]... and in which one or more entities that
leverages federal, state and private funds... exist, the Governor shall designate the lead entity only after full
consideration of the capacity and expertise of all entities desiring to be designated [as lead agency].”
9
10
The designation of a lead entity by the Governor should be based on a determination that the entity is
the most appropriate organization to accomplish both the child abuse and neglect prevention
activities and the family strengthening and support goals of the CBCAP program. That determination
should be based on the demonstrated ability of the entity to: (1) integrate child abuse and neglect
prevention services and activities; and (2) leverage and blend state, federal and private funds at the
local level for these activities.
F.
LEAD AGENCY ELIGIBILITY
1. Lead Entity Requirements:
As required by Section 202(1)(B), the lead entity must:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Be an existing public, quasi-public, or nonprofit private entity that exists to
strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse and neglect; 12
Demonstrate the ability to work with other state and community-based agencies to
provide training and technical assistance; and
Demonstrate the commitment to involving parents who are consumers and who can
provide leadership in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs and
policy decisions of the lead agency in achieving the outcomes of the program.
In general, these funds should be used to support primary prevention (a.k.a., universal) programs and
strategies which are available to all families, as well as secondary (a.k.a., targeted) prevention efforts,
which target children and families at risk for abuse or neglect.
G.
COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION WITH RELATED PREVENTION
EFFORTS
The CBCAP program is specifically authorized to foster the development of a continuum of
preventive services for children and families through state and community-based collaborations and
public-private partnerships. Lead agencies are strongly encouraged to establish new partnerships and
build upon existing collaborative efforts with other federal, state or locally-funded public and private
organizations, included faith-based organizations, serving the same populations and sharing the same
goals and objectives. Funds can also be used to provide leadership for coordination of communitybased resources that will integrate existing services to address unmet needs that have been identified
in the state and communities. Types of organizations could include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
child welfare,
courts,
early childhood,
child care,
education, vocational rehabilitation,
disability,
•
•
•
•
•
•
physical health,
mental health,
substance use disorder treatment,
job readiness,
self-sufficiency,
child and family development,
12
The designated agency is not required to have been established pursuant to state legislation, executive order,
or other written authority of the state.

H.
COORDINATION WITH OTHER CHILDREN’S BUREAU PROCESSES
The Children’s Bureau is committed to the alignment of formula grants, such as CBCAP, with the
work conducted under other federally-funded programs. CBCAP programs should be aware of and
identify opportunities to coordinate and collaborate with State work. The Children’s Bureau
encourages CBCAP state lead agencies to, at a minimum, develop and/or maintain an awareness of
the overall goals and strategies of their respective child welfare agency. In addition, the Children’s
Bureau continues to encourage CBCAP state leads to seek out opportunities to become active and
engaged participants in various collaborative meetings and planning committees related to the Child
and Family Services Plan (CFSP), Annual Progress and Services Review (APSR), and Child and
Family Services Review (CFSR), each of which is described in greater detail below. The Children’s
Bureau Regional Office (see Attachment 8 for Regional Office contacts) and Central Office staff can
assist CBCAP state lead agencies in making connections to improve collaboration and coordination
to improve services for children and families. CBCAP state lead agencies may contact the CBCAP
Federal Project Officers if they are unsure who to contact in their state regarding the CFSR and CFSP
processes. Information on opportunities to collaborate are listed below.
Child and Family Services Plan and the Annual Progress and Services Report
States are required to develop a Child and Family Services Plan (CFSP), a comprehensive five-year
strategic plan that sets forth the vision and the goals to be accomplished to strengthen the states'
overall child welfare system (Section 432(a)(2) of the Social Security Act). The CFSP consolidates
plans for the following: the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Child Welfare Services Program; the MaryLee
Allen Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Program; the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program
for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee) and the Education and Training Vouchers (ETV)
Program; and the CAPTA State Plan update. By consolidating these plans into one submission it
helps States comprehensively integrate the full array of child welfare services, from prevention and
protection through permanency (45 CFR 1357.15(a)). States are required to make these plans
available to the public and many of them are located online.
Specifically, the PSSF program provides funds to state child welfare agencies to prevent the
unnecessary separation of children from their families, improve the quality of care and services to
children and their families, and ensure permanency for children by reuniting them with their parents,
by adoption or by another permanent living arrangement. PSSF provides for community-based
family support programs, services to families at risk or in crisis (family preservation programs and
family reunification services), and adoption promotion and support services. Funds for these
programs are directed toward state and local child welfare services in order to achieve improved
12
well-being for vulnerable children and their families, particularly those experiencing or at risk for
abuse and neglect. CBCAP state lead agencies are encouraged to explore opportunities to collaborate
and coordinate in planning and use of funds provided under CBCAP and PSSF programs, such as
strategies to use funds to create a comprehensive continuum of family support and prevention
services.
The Annual Progress and Services Report (APSR) provides an annual update on the progress made
toward accomplishing the goals and objectives in the state’s CFSP (Section 432(a)(2)(C)(i) of the
Social Security Act). While states are no longer required to submit a new plan for the CAPTA state
grant program every five years, they are required to submit an annual update on their use of CAPTA
State grant funds and to submit other updates to the CAPTA plan, as needed. These CAPTA plan
reports and updates are submitted with the CFSP (and APSR) each year.
In guidance to state child welfare agencies for the CFSP and APSR, CB continues to emphasize the
importance of coordination and collaboration with other programs serving children, youth and
families, including CBCAP state lead agencies, in the development of goals, strategies and plans and
assessment of progress. In the Program Instruction for the 2024 APSR (due June 30, 2023), CB also
urged states to use their data to examine disparities in services and outcomes to understand how
families who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent
poverty and inequality in the child welfare system fare. This may include families of color, nonEnglish-speaking families, LGBTQIA2S+ youth/young adults and parents, families and children
with disabilities, and families living in rural areas. It is important to examine the characteristics of
families for whom services were developed, who is benefitting and the outcomes they are achieving.
It is also essential to take a careful look at the families the agency has not been successful in
engaging in services to determine program improvement efforts to meet the needs of underserved
populations. In addition, CB’s commitment to identify and understand variation in the experiences
and outcomes of different populations, including a consideration of potential evidence of disparities
in decision-making, programs, and policies that contribute to inequity in services and outcomes for
historically underserved and marginalized populations, and using that information to inform system
improvement is a guiding principle. Working together with CBCAP and other federally-funded
partners, the CFSP/APSR planning processes can further these goals to address the disparities and
inequities in child welfare services and outcomes. A new CFSP for fiscal years 2025-2029 will be
due June 30, 2024, and CB will continue to expect that CBCAP grantees be an important partner in
developing the new five-year plan.
Child and Family Services Reviews
The fourth round (Round 4) of the CFSRs began in FY2022 with distribution of the state data
profiles to Year 1 states for use in completing the statewide assessment. CFSRs provide federal
oversight of states’ compliance with title IV-B and IV-E plan requirements; help strengthen state
child welfare systems; and improve safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes for children and
families served. CFSRs encourage states to complete a comprehensive assessment of their child
welfare system using qualitative and quantitative data, including a core set of CFSR data indicators
and case record review results, along with information collected through stakeholder
interviews. Using findings from the CFSR, along with other data and information, states develop and
implement targeted Program Improvement Plans to drive meaningful and long-lasting system,
program, and practice change and to achieve quantifiable measures of improvement. States are
13
required to demonstrate the active engagement of child welfare system partners and stakeholders
throughout the CFSR and Program Improvement Process. The state’s CFSP/APSRs should be
coordinated with Program Improvement Plan (PIP) efforts related to the Child and Family Services
Reviews (CFSR PIPs), and CBCAP state lead agencies should be aware of Round 4 activities
planned in their respective states and consider ways in which CFSR findings may be used to inform
the CBCAP program.
Title IV-E Prevention Services Program (authorized under the Family First Prevention and Services
Act)
CBCAP state lead agencies are also encouraged to seek opportunities to learn more about efforts to
implement services and requirements authorized through the Family First Prevention and Services
Act (FFPSA) (enacted as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, P.L. 115-123). In particular,
FFPSA authorized new optional title IV-E funding for time-limited prevention services for mental
health, substance abuse, and in-home parent skill-based programs for children or youth who are
candidates for foster care, pregnant or parenting youth in foster care, and the parents or kin
caregivers of those children and youth. This also includes use of funds for kinship navigator
programs that meet certain criteria. Please see Attachment 7 for more resources with information on
FFPSA.

any changes in the following lead agency information during the grant award period.
14
The DUNS number has been replaced by a Unique Entity ID (UEI), effective 4/2/22. All existing grantees can
check the government website SAM.gov to retrieve their assigned UEI (SAM) number. New grantees will be
assigned a UEI when they register on SAM.gov. Grantees are encouraged to confirm their EIN and UEI prior to
submission of the report and application.
15
To simplify procedures for the applicant, all statutory assurances contained in this PI are consolidated into
two separate Assurance Statements, for signature by the state official who is responsible for making such
assurances (the Governor of the state). These Assurance Statements are included as Attachments 3 and 4.
16
victims of child abuse and neglect, 16 and public and private nonprofit service providers
and individuals and organizations experienced in working in partnership with families
with children with disabilities (Section 202(2)(A));
2. Direction through an interdisciplinary, collaborative, public-private structure with
balanced representation from private and public sector members, parents, adult former
victims of child abuse and neglect, public sector and private nonprofit sector service
providers, and parents with disabilities (Section 202(2)(B));
3. Direction and oversight through identified goals and objectives, clear lines of
communication and accountability, the provision of leveraged or combined funding from
federal, state and private sources, centralized assessment and planning activities, the
provision of training, technical assistance, evaluation assistance and reporting and
evaluation functions (Section 202(2)(C));
4. A demonstrated commitment to parental participation in the development, operation, and
oversight of the community-based child abuse and neglect prevention programs and
activities designed to strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse and neglect;
(Section 202(3)(A))

the child abuse and neglect prevention activities of the state, and a financial commitment
to those activities (Section 202(3)(D)).
Please note that a new Governor’s letter and assurance statement must be included every year as part
of the CBCAP application.
16
While the language in CAPTA requires assurances the CBCAP lead agency will partner with and provide services
and programs to “adult former victims of child abuse and neglect,” CB urges all CBCAP lead agencies to consult
with those individuals to determine a designation that may provide a more meaningful and empowering way to
describe their experience and role in the CBCAP program, particularly when featured in public events or public
facing documents. In August 2019, CB issued Information Memorandum (IM) ACYF-CB-IM-19-03 on “Engaging,
empowering, and utilizing family and youth voice in all aspects of child welfare” where CB issued a challenge to
“Change the Words We Use to Describe Parents, Youth and Caregivers.” The purpose of this IM is to demonstrate
that family and youth voice are critical to a well-functioning child welfare system and to ensure that family and
youth voice are central in program planning and improvement efforts.
17
E.
LEAD AGENCY ASSURANCES
The authorized official of the lead agency designated by the Governor to administer funds under the
CBCAP program and assume the obligations imposed by the terms and conditions of the grant award
must provide the following assurances:
1. A description of the inventory of current unmet needs and current community-based and
prevention-focused programs and activities to prevent child abuse and neglect, and other
family resource services operating in the state, will be incorporated into the Annual

4. The applicant agency will provide the Secretary with reports at such time and containing
such information as the Secretary may require (Section 204(12)).
The assurance statement must be signed by an authorized official of the agency designated by the
Governor to act for the state in administering the CBCAP funds and assuming the obligations
imposed by the terms and conditions of the grant award. A form for this assurance statement is
included in this PI as Attachment 4.
F.
DOCUMENTATION OF LEVERAGED FUNDS FOR FEDERAL MATCHING
FUNDS
For the purpose of submitting a claim under the CBCAP program (for FY 2023), each application
must include a statement confirming the fiscal year for which state, private, and other non-federal
funds were leveraged is FY 2022 (i.e., October 1, 2021 - September 30, 2022).
The following documentation of leveraged funds must be provided to receive CBCAP funds
available for distribution under section 203(b)(1)(B), (i.e., 30 percent of the total allotment to states
that is based on the leveraging of non-federal funds):
1. Leveraged Funds that May Be Claimed:
Funds claimed as leveraged funds by a state under section 203(b)(1)(B) may include any
funds that were:
(a) Leveraged by the state from private, state, or other non-federal sources during
FY 2022 (i.e., October 1, 2021 - September 30, 2022);
18
(b) Directed through the CBCAP lead agency for FY 2022; and
(c) Budgeted and spent during FY 2022 for use in supporting community-based child
abuse and neglect prevention programs and activities designed to strengthen and
support families to prevent child abuse and neglect. 17
Only funds that have not been used to leverage additional federal funds under any other
program may be claimed as leveraged funds for this program. For purposes of this
application, state and non-federal funds that are being used to meet the maintenance of
effort, match or other cost-sharing requirements for other federal funding are not eligible
to be claimed.
2. Completion of Leveraged Funds Worksheet:
In order for a state to document funds claimed as leveraged funds, the application must
contain a completed copy of the Leveraged Funds Worksheet (see Attachment 5), which
includes: (1) an itemization of the funds being claimed; and (2) an assurance statement
that is to be signed by the responsible lead agency administrator and fiscal authority for
the lead agency verifying the authenticity of the submitted claim.
G.
ADDITIONAL APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
1.
Budget, Including State’s 20 Percent Cash Match
Each state application must include a budget for the development, operation and expansion of
the community-based and prevention-focused programs and activities that verifies that the
state will expend in non-federal funds an amount equal to not less than 20 percent of the
amount received under this title (in cash, not in-kind) for activities under this title; (Section
204(4)). The budget should be presented in a format that clearly displays line-item
expenditures for both the federal and non-federal funds.
The budget must allocate sufficient funds to provide for at least one representative from the
state to attend an annual 2-5 day federally initiated CBCAP grantees conference, when the
meeting is conducted in person. In the event this meeting is virtual, funds budgeted for travel
can be re-allocated to other activities that align with CBCAP program purposes.
Participation in this meeting is a grant requirement.
The nature of the formula provision is such that states claiming leveraged funds will not
know what their total grant award will be when the application is submitted. Consequently, a
state with a leveraged funds claim will not know what will constitute its 20 percent match.
Therefore, for application purposes, the 20 percent match should be determined based on the
population-only portion of the formula. Attachment 2 includes a table showing an estimate of
17
Leveraged funds that may be submitted for federal matching funds are those non-federal funds which, in the
preceding fiscal year, were controlled by the CBCAP lead agency submitting the application and were spent to
provide the types of services and activities for which the current CBCAP federal funds may be used, as specified by
the law and described under the Use of Funds section of this PI.
19
the amount each state will receive based on population based on FY2022 appropriation
levels. Because FY2023 appropriations have not been finalized at the time this Program
Instruction was released, CBCAP state lead agencies should use the estimates provided in
Attachment 2 to determine budgets and 20 percent match amounts. Within 30 days of receipt
of the Grant Award Letter, the lead agency must submit an amended budget to
[email protected] to reflect a 20 percent match of the full amount of the grant award.
Note: If the non-federal match money in the budget submitted with the application is equal to
or greater than 20 percent of the final grant award, the lead agency is not required to submit a
post-award budget amendment.
2.
Description of the Lead Agency’s Leadership Role in State Prevention Activities
Each applicant must describe the role of the lead agency and how it will lead the child
maltreatment prevention activities in the state. This section describes the interdisciplinary,
collaborative, and public-private structure, including its representation from private and
public sector parents and service providers that will direct and support coordinated child
abuse prevention resources and activities to better strengthen and support families (Section
204(1)).
This section should also include a description of how the community-based and preventionfocused programs and activities will operate including how community-based child abuse
and neglect prevention programs and activities provided by public and private, nonprofit
organizations, will be integrated into a developing continuum of family-centered, holistic,
preventive services for children and families (Section 204(2)).
3.
Actions to Advocate for Systemic Change
Each application must include a description of the actions that the lead agency will take to
advocate systemic changes in state policies, practices, procedures and regulations to improve
the delivery of community-based child abuse and neglect prevention programs and activities
designed to strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse and neglect (Section
204(11)).
This description should include plans or approaches to be implemented in the coming fiscal
year to advocate for systemic change. States are strongly encouraged to describe planned
efforts to conduct strategic, long-term, and outcome focused planning for their CBCAP
program that will promote sustainable, systems change to strengthen and enhance the wellbeing of families to prevent child maltreatment. This section should describe how the state
will conduct their action planning efforts and how these efforts will be integrated with other
strategic planning efforts in child welfare, early childhood, public health, or other related
systems. The description should also include any anticipated involvement in the
implementation of the CFSP/APSR and/or the CFSR PIP, as applicable. CBCAP lead
agencies are also encouraged to outline how they will contribute to efforts by the child
welfare agency to implement primary prevention strategies to strengthen families. Please also
include other planned actions to involve other statewide public and private agencies to
promote system change, in particular activities to be conducted by the state’s prevention
network.
20
4.
Collaboration and Coordination
Collaboration and coordination with other child and family support systems are critical for
CBCAP programs. In this section, states should describe the extent and nature of federal,
state, local, or private partnerships and collaborations that they plan to continue or enter into
and how they intersect with their family strengthening and child maltreatment prevention
programs and activities. States are encouraged to highlight how their work will be anchored
and connected to more established prevention and promotion activities in public health or
other human services. Please see Attachment 7 for a list of potential federal, state, and local
programs who may be strong partners for strengthening families and child maltreatment
prevention efforts.
5.
Needs Assessment and Criteria for Funded Programs
Each application must include a description of the criteria that the lead agency will use to
develop or select and fund evidence-informed or evidence-based community-based child
abuse and neglect prevention programs and activities designed to strengthen and support
families to prevent child abuse and neglect (Section 204(7)). This description must include
information on how the current inventory of unmet needs and the current array of
community-based child abuse and neglect prevention programs and activities will be used to
inform the criteria for funding new programs and activities for the upcoming year.
This requirement may be met in part by the inclusion of the state’s current announcement of
the priority for local grant awards or solicitations (e.g., Request for Proposals) for CBCAP
funds.
6.
Outreach Activities for Special Populations
Each application must include a description of outreach activities that the lead agency and the
community-based and prevention-focused programs and activities will undertake to
maximize the participation of parents, racial and ethnic minorities, children and adults with
disabilities, homeless families and those at risk of homelessness, unaccompanied homeless
youth, adult former victims of child abuse and neglect or domestic violence, and members of
other underserved or underrepresented groups (Section 204(8)).
Parents with mild to moderate disabilities are frequently underserved and should also be
considered a target population for this outreach. Research has further demonstrated the
importance of fathers in the healthy development of children. Fathers are an often-overlooked
population and efforts should be taken to include them in the planning of outreach activities.
Finally, youth and families who identify as LGBTQIA2S+are often underserved and the
provision of prevention-based, affirming services increase the capacity of youth and families
to thrive.
States are encouraged to describe any other special populations that they will include in their
outreach plans to meet local needs as identified in their inventory of unmet needs (e.g.,
families impacted by parent/caregiver incarceration, rural communities, teen parents or
others).
21
7.
Plan for Parent Leadership and Family Involvement
Each application must include a description about how the lead agency will implement
activities and training to enhance parent participation and leadership in the upcoming year.
Plans can include a description of how parents will be involved in the planning,
implementation, and evaluation of funded programs. This section should also describe
anticipated training and technical assistance related to parent leadership and family
involvement.
8.
Plan for Support, Training, Technical Assistance and Evaluation Assistance
Each application must describe the lead agency’s plan for providing operational support,
training, technical assistance and evaluation assistance to community-based, preventionfocused programs and activities for the development, operation, expansion and enhancement
of such activities (Section 204(9)).
These plans should include training and technical assistance to foster understanding,
appreciation, and knowledge of diverse populations in order to effectively strengthen families
and prevent child abuse and neglect. This training may also focus on enhancing cultural
competence across all funded programs and activities. Plans should also include training and
technical assistance to foster the promotion of strong families. Plans should include a
description of how the lead agency will provide assistance to their funded programs on
developing evaluation plans which may include quantitative and qualitative methods. Plans
can also include efforts to assist programs with implementing and sustaining evidence-based
or evidence-informed programs and practices. States are encouraged to identify training and
technical assistance efforts that will link with the CFSR/PIP and CFSP/APSR processes or
early childhood systems integration, as appropriate.
9.
Evaluation
Each application must include a description of how the lead agency’s activities, and those of
the network and its members, where appropriate, will be evaluated (Section 204(10)). States
are encouraged to include evaluation activities that will assess culturally competent practices
and parent leadership across all funded programs and activities. States are strongly
encouraged to develop evaluation plans which incorporate a continuum of evaluation
approaches including quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. This evaluation
plan can include a peer review process. States which have allocated a large portion of their
CBCAP funding for network support/ development are strongly advised to develop strategies
and methods to evaluate the effectiveness of their network and its activities, as well as their
funded programs.
States must provide information on how they will collect data on the percentage of CBCAP
total funding that supports evidence-based and evidence-informed child abuse prevention
programs and practices, and any other national outcomes for the CBCAP program, as
appropriate.
22
10. Child Abuse Prevention Month and Public Awareness Activities
Each application must include a description of the activities the lead agency will coordinate
or participate in, and the network’s role in the promotion and observance of Child Abuse
Prevention Month during April 2024. This section should also describe other public
awareness and education efforts planned during FY 2024.
11. Areas for Technical Assistance
This section should describe any important contextual factors that may impact the ability of
the lead agency to implement their proposed plans for the upcoming year. This section can
provide information about state budget issues, staffing issues or other anticipated factors that
may impact the work. This section should describe the potential nature of the challenge or
barrier and how the lead agency plans to try and address issues as they arise or identify areas
where they may need more support or technical assistance. Lead agencies may also provide
information about other potential opportunities that were not described in the previous
sections that could impact CBCAP program in the upcoming year, such as the impact on
service delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health emergency.
12. American Rescue Plan Funds
As part of the state’s CBCAP application:
a. Provide an update on the state’s planned use of the supplemental funding provided
through ARPA.
b. Describe how the state will engage with families, community-based agencies or
other partners to plan for the use of funds and how issues of equity are informing
the planned use of the funds.
c. Describe any barriers or challenges the state anticipates in being able to access or
use the supplemental funds.

ATTACHMENT 2:
Tentative Population Allocation of CBCAP Funds – FY 2022
IMPORTANT NOTE: The following figures represent our best estimate of what each state, Puerto Rico, and
the District of Columbia will receive for the population portion of their grant award allocation. These figures
are based on a 70 percent formula figure, census figures available, and an assumption that each of the
Territories will receive the base amount of $175,000. These figures could change if census figures are
updated, if there are additional set-asides in the appropriation, or if state participation differs from what is
predicted at this time. The amount of funds available and population fluctuations have impacted the
population distribution amounts for most of the states over last year’s estimated allocation.
For purposes of submitting the application, each state may use this amount when calculating its budget and
determining the 20 percent matching funds obligation as set forth in section III-G-1 of the PI. Since this
amount is only tentative, each state must submit a revised budget to OCAN (at [email protected]) to
complete the application, no later than October 31, 2023. The revised budget must be based on the actual
amount awarded to the state, as verified in the Grant Award letter. For those States providing matching funds
in excess of 20 percent, if the excess amount meets the 20 percent requirement of the final grant award, such
states do not need to submit budget amendments.

DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN LEVERAGED AND MATCH FUNDS
FOR PURPOSES OF THE CBCAP PROGRAM
Leveraged Funds are those funds that were received by
the CBCAP lead agency from private, state, or other nonfederal sources during the prior Federal Fiscal Year (FY)
and obligated and spent by the CBCAP lead agency
during that same time frame to provide the types of
services and activities for which the actual CBCAP
federal funds may be used.
Match funds are those funds from non-federal sources that
are included in the current application budget to supplement
the federal portion of the grant and must amount to at least
20 percent (in cash, not in-kind) of the current application
grant award for activities under this title.
All funds leveraged by your date and claimed when
submitting the CBCAP application must have been:
•
•
•
•
•
Leveraged by your state from private, state, or
other non-federal sources during the prior Federal
Fiscal Year.
Directed through the CBCAP lead agency
submitting the application. (Note: Leveraged funds
must be controlled by the CBCAP lead agency
submitting the application. If the state lead agency
has changed and the current lead agency submitting
the application is not the same lead agency through
which the leveraged funds were directed and
obligated or spent in the prior Federal Fiscal Year,
the current lead agency cannot submit a leveraged
funds claim. In that case, your total grant award
would be the amount determined by population of
children under 18 years of age).
Budgeted and spent (spent, obligated, restricted)
during the prior Federal Fiscal Year in supporting
services and activities consistent with a network of
community-based and prevention-focused programs
and activities designed to strengthen and support
families to prevent child abuse and neglect.
Used (spent, drawn down) during the prior Federal
Fiscal Year to support services and activities for
which the actual CBCAP Federal grant funds may be
used.
Only funds that have not been used to leverage additional
Federal funds under any other program may be claimed
as leveraged funds for this program. State and nonfederal funds that are being used to meet the maintenance
of effort, match or other cost-sharing requirements for
other Federal funding are not eligible to be claimed.
All Funds included as match funds in the current
application budget must be:
•
•
•
Received by the CBCAP lead agency from private,
state, or other non-federal sources for use during the
current federal Fiscal Year in which the application is
being submitted.
Budgeted for the current Federal Fiscal Year in
supporting a network of community-based and
prevention-focused programs and activities designed to
strengthen and support families to prevent child abuse
and neglect.
Used during the Federal Fiscal Year in which it was
applied to supplement the federal portion of the grant
to support services and activities for which the CBCAP
federal grant funds may be used.
In cash, not in-kind, and amount to at least 20 percent
of the grant award. (Note: There is no requirement to
include more than a 20 percent match of non-federal
funds in the budget. However, if the state has a
sizeable leveraged funds claim that ensures their grant
award will be greater than the population allocation,
the state may wish to figure in a higher percentage for
match so that they do not have to submit a budget
amendment in October.
The state may claim the money that it used for match in
Federal Fiscal Year 2022 as part of their leveraged funds
claim for their Federal Fisca l Year 2023 application, as long
as this money is not leveraged to claim for any other source
of federal funds, the funds were directed through the lead
agency, and the lead agency has remained the same for FY
2022 and FY 2023.

DATA

Children, Parents/Caregivers and Families Who Received Preventive Direct Services
From the State During the Year – FY2023
Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Program (CBCAP) Grant
SUMMARY DATA DEFINITION
Preventive direct services under CBCAP are beneficial activities aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect. Such
activities may be directed at the general population or specific populations identified as being increased risk of abusing or
neglecting their children. The primary focus of these activities is to better strengthen and support families by increasing
protective factors and reducing the risk factors that can reduce the likelihood of abuse or neglect. The six primary
protective factors to be increased by the preventive direct services include: nurturing and attachment, parental resilience,
knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development, social connections, concrete supports for parents, and
social and emotional competence of children. Th e primary risk factors that may be addressed include caregiver problems
with mental health, substance abuse, and family and community violence, and other negative conditions in the child and
family’s life situation. Ultimately, the goals of these activities are to increase the strength and stability of families, to
increase parents’ confidence and competence in their parenting abilities, to afford children a stable and supportive
environment and to increase the safety, permanency and well -being of children and families. Such activities do not
include information and referral, one-time public education events, or public awareness campaigns.
INSTRUCTIONS / ERROR CONDITIONS
This is the number of children and number of families who received services aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect
during the year. These services may be directed at specific populations identified as being at increased risk of becoming
abusive or they may provide direct services to the general population. Direct services means that the services must be
provided to an individual or family and the planned duration of the services should be more than a one-time event. Some
examples of preventative direct services include: voluntary home visiting, parenting programs, parent mutual support,
respite care, family resource centers, or other family support programs. If the participant only attends the direct service
for one-time and drops out, they should still be counted in this category since the planned duration was for more than
one-time.
The data should reflect recipients of direct services funded by the CBCAP program. Direct services funded by CBCAP
should reflect the Federal CBCAP funds plus the amount for the state’s required 20% match as reflected in their
application for this year’s funding. (Note: Some states include more than a 20% match in their application). Since a
number of states blend the CBCAP with other federal, state and local funding, these states will need to indicate the total
funding from all other sources, including CBCAP, and indicate the percentage of CBCAP funding that is part of the total.
The data should not include recipients of information and referral services, one-time public education events, and other
public awareness campaigns. The recipients of these activ ities should be counted separately as part of Public Awareness
Activities (see Table III).
The items in this section request data on recipients of preventive direct services under the CBCAP program. Data on the
number of children, parents and the number o f families receiving these services is requested. The three possibilities are
provided since some programs report by "family", “parent/caregiver” and others report by "child". In answering these
questions, to the extent possible, you should NOT duplicate y our counts.
This is the number of children, parents/caregivers, and families who received services aimed at preventing child abuse
and neglect during the year funded by a Community -Based Child Abuse Prevention Program (CBCAP) Grant. The total

Children, Parents/Caregivers with Disabilities Who Received Preventive Direct Services
From the State During the Year – FY2023
Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Program (CBCAP) Grant
SUMMARY DATA DEFINITION
Preventive direct services under CBCAP are beneficial activities aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect. Such
activities may be directed at the general population or specific populations identified as being increased risk of abusing or
neglecting their children. The primary focus of these activities is to better strengthen and support families by increasing
protective factors and reducing the risk factors that can reduce the likelihood of abuse or neglect. The five primary
protective factors to be increased by the preventive direct services include: nurturing and attachment, parental resilience,
knowledge of parenting and of child and youth development, social connections, concrete supports for parents, and
social and emotional competence of children. The primary risk factors that may be addressed include caregiver problems
with mental health, substance abuse, and family and community violence, and other negative conditions in the child and
family’s life situation. Ultimately, the goals of these activiti es are to increase the strength and stability of families, to
increase parents’ confidence and competence in their parenting abilities, to afford children a stable and supportive
environment and to increase the safety, permanency and well -being of children and families. Such activities do not
include information and referral, one-time public education events, or public awareness campaigns.
INSTRUCTIONS / ERROR CONDITIONS
This is the number of children and adults/caregivers with disabilities who received services aimed at preventing child
abuse and neglect during the year. These services may be directed at specific populations identified as being at
increased risk of becoming abusive or they may provide direct services to the general population. Direct services means
that the services must be provided to an individual or family and the planned duration of the services should be more
than a one-time event. Some examples of preventative direct services include: voluntary home visiting, parenting
programs, parent mutual support, respite care, family resource centers, or other family support programs. If the
participant only attends the direct service for one-time and drops out, they should still be counted in this category since
the planned duration was for more than one-time.
The data should reflect recipients of direct services funded by the CBCAP program. Direct services funded by CBCAP
should reflect the Federal CBCAP funds plus the amount for the state’s required 20 percent match as reflected in their
application for this year’s funding. (Note: Some states include more than a 20 percent match in their application).Since a
number of States blend the CBCAP with other federal, state and local funding, these states will need to indicate the total
funding from all other sources, including CBCAP, and indicate the percentage of CBCAP funding that is part of the total.
The data should not include recipients of information and referral services, one-time public education events, and other
public awareness campaigns. The recipients of these activities should be counted separately as part of Public
Awareness Activities (see Table III).
The items in this section request data on recipients (adults and children, individually) of preventive direct services under
the CBCAP program who also have a disability. The definition of a person with disability has the same meaning for a
child or adult with disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Parts B and C.
Data on the number of children and the number of parents with disabilities receiving these services is requested. The
numbers for Table II should be a subset of the total numbers from Table I.
This is the number of children and/or parents/caregivers with disabilities who received direct services aimed at
preventing child abuse and neglect during the year funded by a Community -Based Child Abuse Prevention Program

Individuals Who Received Public Awareness or Public Information Activities
From the State During the Year – FY2023
Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Program (CBCAP) Grant
SUMMARY DATA DEFINITION
Public awareness or public education activities under CBCAP are beneficial activities that focus on the healthy and
positive development of parents and the promotion of child abuse and neglect prevention activities. These activities can
include public education and outreach, information and referral regarding community and social services that are
available for families, and public awareness campaigns. Such activities are usually directed at the general population but
may also be targeted for sp ecific populations or communities identified at increased risk of abuse or neglect. The
primary focus of these activities are to better strengthen and support individuals, families, the community and society by
providing information about available family support and prevention resources in the community, increasing the public
understanding of the importance of the prevention of child abuse and neglect and increasing community ownership and
involvement in prevention activities. Over the long term, it is anticipated th at these activities contribute to increasing the
safety, permanency and well-being of all children and families.
INSTRUCTIONS / ERROR CONDITIONS
This is the number of individuals received public awareness or public education activities aimed at preventing child
abuse and neglect during the year. These services may be directed to the general population or at specific populations
identified as being at increased risk of abuse or neglect. These activities may be a one-time event or a series of public
education and information sessions. These activities may also include provide information and referral to the community
through the telephone, in -person, or through a mail out or website. Some examples of public awareness, public
education or information and referral activities include: Blue Ribbon or other Child Abuse Prevention Month campaigns,
conducting a public information fair at a local festival, presenting information about child abuse prevention to various
agencies or the general public, television or radio ad vertisements, newsletter mailings, parent support hotlines,
information and referral websites, etc.
The data should reflect the individuals who received or were exposed to the public awareness or public education
activities funded by the CBCAP program. Direct services funded by CBCAP should reflect the federal CBCAP funds plus
the amount for the state’s required 20 percent match as reflected in their application for this year’s funding. (Note: Some
states include more than a 20 percent match in their application). Since a number of states blend the CBCAP with other
federal, state and local funding, these states will need to indicate the total funding from all other sources, including
CBCAP, and indicate the percentage of CBCAP funding that is part of the total.
The items in this section request data on recipients of public awareness or public education activities conducted under
the CBCAP program. Data on the number of individuals receiving or exposed to these activities is requested. Since it is
difficult to provide an exact number of individuals who may have received the public awareness or public education
activities, states are advised to provide the most accurate estimate based on the number of participants that reasonably
received these activities. For example, the total can include the number of participants in public education session or
workshop, the number of newsletters mailed out, the number of individuals who called a parent support line, the number
of people exposed to the television or radio ad vertisements, etc.
