HHS Awards $57.8 Million Through Compassion Capital Fund

From HHS News and Events:

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced awards totaling $57,840,781 through the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF).

"By supporting grass-roots organizations already serving those in need in their communities, we are increasing our ability to help more people gain control of their lives."

Demonstration program grantees serve as intermediaries providing assistance to and building the capacity of smaller faith-based and community organizations in their community.

The second set awards a total of $10.3 million to 219 faith-based and community organizations through the CCF Targeted Capacity Building Program.

These awards will increase the capacity of these organizations to support at-risk youth and the homeless, strengthen marriage and serve rural communities.

The third set of grants awards a total of $7.5 million to 31 organizations participating in the Communities Empowering Youth program.

Under this program, organizations committed to combating gang activity, youth violence and child abuse and neglect will receive funds to strengthen their own capacity.

They will also build the capacity of their faith-based and community partners to operate more effectively in strengthening community coalitions committed to providing positive alternatives for at-risk youth across the country.

"The Compassion Capital Fund is the signature initiative of President Bush's community renewal agenda," said Jay Hein, director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

"This announcement demonstrates the Bush Administration's commitment to help faith-based and community organizations increase their effectiveness, expand their organizations, and create collaborations to better serve at the local level," said Josephine B. Robinson, director of the Administration for Children and Families' Office of Community Services at HHS.
