Office of Family Assistance; Notice to
Award Single-Source Expansion
Supplement Grant
Office of Family Assistance,
ACF, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
C.F.D.A. Number: 93.086.
Statutory Authority: This action is
authorized under the Deficit Reduction Act
of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–171) which amends
Title IV, Section 403(a)(2)(C) of the Social
Security Act (42.U.S.C. 603(a)(2)); Section
1110 of the Social Security Act governing
Social Services Research and Demonstration
activities; Title IV–B, Subpart 2 of the Social
Security Act, Promoting Safe and Stable
Families; and Section 452(j) of the Social
Security Act.
Notice is hereby given that a
single-source program expansion is
being made to Public Strategies, Inc., as
the National Healthy Marriage Resource
Center (NHMRC), located in Oklahoma
City, OK, in the amount of $1,250,000
to conduct a national media campaign
on the value of marriage and the skills
needed to increase marital stability and
health. Public Strategies, Inc. and their
collaborative partners were
competitively awarded on September
30, 2006 to operate the NHMRC. The
goal of the NHMRC is to be the ‘‘first
stop shop’’ for marriage education
information, an experienced provider of
training and technical assistance, and a
major catalyst in advancing the healthy
marriage field.
Since healthy marriage is a nascent
field, it is necessary for the NHMRC to
promote healthy marriage on a broad,
national level in order to achieve these
stated goals. Research has repeatedly
shown that a healthy marriage brings
about good outcomes for individuals,
families, and especially, for children. A
national media campaign would
significantly raise the awareness of the
benefits of healthy marriage and the
benefits of marriage education. The
campaign would disseminate
information that explains how marriage
education can enhance a couple’s ability
to form and sustain a healthy marriage
and describe the benefits to children
being raised in healthy, married two
parent households.
Additionally, by promoting healthy
marriage and marriage education on a
national level, the NHMRC will
encourage a national discussion and
further the mission of ACF’s Healthy
Marriage Initiative to help couples and
individuals, who have chosen marriage
for themselves, gain greater access to
marriage education services, on a
voluntary basis, where they can acquire
the skills and knowledge necessary to
form and sustain a healthy marriage.
After the appropriate reviews, it has
been determined that this single-source
expansion qualifies for funding.
The period of this funding will extend
from September 30, 2007 through
September 29, 2011.
