[[Page 49020]]

Revitalization's Turning the Hearts of Fathers Program,'' the project 
proposes to test the value, effectiveness, efficiency and utility of 
its primary intervention, non-traditional outreach and counseling, in 
altering the lives of fathers, children, the mothers of their children, 
families and communities.
    This project is being funded noncompetitively, because the 
Institute plans to use innovative and nontraditional techniques which 
offer the potential of connecting a non-custodial father with his 
children and forging an emotional bond. The study will employ a 
holistic approach in providing services to members of the family who 
impact the father's life.
