CFDA No.: 93.616.
SUMMARY: The Administration on Children, Youth and Families, Family and 
Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), herein announces the awarding of fifty 
supplemental awards in the amount of $5,733,115 to Fiscal Year (FY) 
2006 Mentoring of Children of Prisoners (MCP) grantees.
    Section 439 of the Social Security Act, as amended by the Child and 
Family Services Improvement Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-288) authorizes 
the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to award grants for 
the purpose of supporting the establishment or expansion and operation 
of community-based programs to provide one-on-one mentoring 
relationships between a child of incarcerated parent(s) and a caring, 
supportive adult mentor under the Mentoring Children of Prisoners 
Program (MCP).
    The program is designed to reach the President's goal of 
establishing 100,000 mentor/mentee relationships between a

caring adult and a young person whose parent(s) is incarcerated in a 
correctional facility by the end of FY 2008. This funding is requested 
for those grantees that have demonstrated the capacity to make quality 
matches and currently making significant process in reaching their 
match goal. One-third of the grantees have made over 50% of their 
three-year match goal within their first year. The fifty supplemental 
awards are important to helping our grantees reach more youth who are 
in need of a mentor.
    The following agencies are receiving grant funds for a twelve month 
project period:
