Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACF OCS ET 1125
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Regional Performance and Innovation Consortium (RPIC) Capacity Building and Quality Improvement (CBQI) opportunity for Region IX is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Community Services (OCS). The award is structured as a three-year cooperative agreement, which means the selected recipient is expected to work closely and continuously with OCS rather than operating entirely independently. The core purpose is to strengthen the CSBG Network in Region IX by expanding the skills, systems, and organizational effectiveness of the agencies that plan, administer, and deliver CSBG-funded services, with the broader goal of improving outcomes that support economic self-sufficiency for individuals, families, and communities.
Under this announcement, OCS plans to fund one RPIC in Region IX to act as the region's lead hub for training and technical assistance (T/TA). The RPIC is expected to support state and territory CSBG lead agencies, the CSBG State Association, and CSBG-eligible entities by identifying what the region most needs to improve and then delivering targeted capacity-building assistance that helps organizations perform at a higher level. The emphasis is on quality improvement: building durable organizational practices that translate into more consistent, effective, and far-reaching services and supports. In practical terms, the consortium functions like a regional backbone organization for learning, performance support, and implementation guidance across the CSBG system.
The work is expected to start with a deliberate process to identify, align, and prioritize training needs across the region, and then translate those needs into a coordinated T/TA plan. The requested focus areas include (but are not limited to) organizational self-assessment, strategic planning tied to service delivery, building and sustaining strategic partnerships, leveraging existing resources more effectively, developing and strengthening workforce training models, standardizing internal processes and procedures, and improving the use and quality of Community Needs Assessments. These topics reflect common drivers of program quality and organizational health, and they are meant to help agencies strengthen both their management infrastructure and their ability to design services that respond to local conditions.
A central expectation of the award is that the T/TA be informed by the collection and analysis of emerging and promising practices in capacity building. In other words, the recipient is not only delivering training but also scanning the field for what is working, synthesizing lessons learned, and using that evidence to shape the assistance offered across the region. Delivery methods can be flexible and may include regional convenings (in-person and/or virtual), direct one-on-one technical assistance to specific agencies, webinars, structured training modules, podcasts, presentations, and other learning activities designed to build capacity over time. The recipient must also evaluate and assess the effectiveness of the T/TA provided, which implies tracking participation, measuring changes in organizational practices or performance where feasible, and using feedback to adjust content and delivery.
Because this is a cooperative agreement, close collaboration with OCS is built into the model. The recipient will be expected to coordinate with OCS to ensure that deliverables and outcomes stay aligned with CSBG purposes and OCS priorities, and to maintain regular communication on implementation progress throughout the project period. This ongoing partnership is intended to keep the regional effort consistent with national CSBG expectations while still being responsive to Region IX needs.
