Abstract: The Regional Partnership Grants (RPG) program funds regional partnerships to provide, through interagency collaboration and integration of programs, services and activities that are designed to increase the well-being of, improve permanency outcomes for, and enhance the safety of children who are in an out-of-home placement or are at risk of being placed in an out-of-home placement as a result of a parent’s or caretaker’s substance abuse. The partnerships implement a range of activities and interventions, including peer recovery coaching, family-centered and prevention-focused services, parenting and family strengthening programs, specialized services to fathers, and pregnant and postpartum women, medication assisted treatment, in-home parenting and child safety support for families, and related evidence-based practices. Final Reports are required as part of the Administration for Children and Families Children’s Bureau’s (CB) reporting requirements. Each project is to submit Semi Annual Progress Reports to the CB during the project period and then a Final Report at the end of the project period. The Final Report is to be submitted 120 days after the project period ends. The RPG Final Report Outline is intended to assist RPG grant recipients with the development and submission of the Final Report. The RPG program is in its 7th Round of funding. Providing a consistent clear template for the project’s final reports will assist the CB to ensure program monitoring and to build the evidence of effective programing and practice for the RPG sites and other CB efforts to support families impacted by substance use.
