Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Program
Under the Community-Based Grants for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (formerly the Community-Based Family Resource and Support (CBFRS) program and now administratively known as the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Grants (CBCAP)), discretionary grants may be awarded to selected Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs to develop linkages with the statewide CBCAP program and/or to provide services otherwise consistent with the purposes of the CBCAP. These funds must support more effective and comprehensive child abuse prevention activities and family support services, including an emphasis on strengthening marriages and reaching out to fathers, that will enhance the lives and ensure the safety and well-being of migrant and Native American children and their families. In FY 2002, approximately $1.3M in discretionary funds were awarded to support community-based prevention programs for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs. This discretionary grant program also supports a national resource center, "FRIENDS," to assist CBCAP lead agencies for the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention grants with the development and evaluation of their programs and activities.
