The Office of Community Services (OCS) typically announces the competition for new AFI Program grants in the spring of each year.  Applications are usually due in early summer, and successful applicants are notified by late September. 

We strongly encourage applicants to start planning their AFI Program applications now! For information on how to apply, go to the “Apply for Funding” section on the OCS Asset-Building website: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/assetbuilding/.
