ACTION: Notice to Award Five Expansion Supplement Grants.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    CFDA Number: 93.592.
    Legislative Authority: The Family Violence Prevention and Services 
Act, 42 U.S.C. 10401 through 10421, as extended by the Department of 
Health and Human Services Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 111-8.
    Total Amount of Awards: $400,000.
    Project Period: September 30, 2009--September 29, 2010.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the award of expansion supplement grants 
to five grantees under the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB)/
Family Violence Prevention and Services Program. Expansion supplement 
awards are made to four technical assistance (TA) providers to support 
their capacity to enhance victim services by providing more extensive 
TA to local domestic violence programs and State domestic violence 
coalitions under the Open Doors to Safety: Capacity-Building Grant 
(Capacity-Building) project. The supplemental funds, coupled with the 
TA providers' expertise, will enable Open Doors Safety Capacity-
Building project grantees to receive more training and site-specific 
consultation, so that they may build program capacity. The awards will 
also support State-level collaboration between domestic violence 
organizations and child welfare agencies. These combined efforts will 
strengthen the ability of domestic violence programs and their partners 
to better serve survivors who have diverse backgrounds, experiences, 
and abilities.
