Title: Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Service Delivery Demonstration Project
Data Collection (MCP) Program.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Promoting Safe and
Stable Families Amendments, as
reauthorized (2006), amended Title IV–
B of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629–629e) providing funding for a
service delivery demonstration project
for the Mentoring Children of Prisoners
(MCP) program. The grantee shall
identify children of prisoners not being
served by the grant program, provide
families of identified children with a
voucher for mentoring services and a
list of quality mentoring programs, and
monitor the delivery of mentoring
services provided. The Family and
Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the
Administration for Children and
Families, United States Department of
Health and Human Services,
administers the Mentoring Children of
Prisoners (MCP) program. The MCP
program provides children of prisoners
with caring adult mentors, supporting
one-to-one mentoring relationships.
Research in other populations has
shown that such relationships can lead
to reductions in risk behaviors and
improvements in academic, behavioral
and psychological outcomes in children
and youth. Although the MCP program
was developed based on research
documenting the efficacy of mentoring
as a general intervention strategy, it is
not yet known whether or not this
particular intervention yields positive
outcomes for the children of prisoners
population. Little is known about how
mentoring relationships work for these
youth, and how effective mentoring
relationships for children of prisoners
differ from effective mentoring
relationships for other youth. In
addition, little is known about children
of prisoners in general and thus a survey
of MCP program youth has the potential
to provide important data about this
relatively unstudied population.
The evaluation and data collection
proposed in this notice are to fulfill the
statutory requirement under Section 8,
subsection h(1) of the Child and Family
Services Improvement Act of 2006, as
amended, that the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services evaluate outcomes of the MCP
service delivery demonstration project
and report to Congress on the findings.
The information collected will also be
used for accountability monitoring,
management improvement, and
research. Data collection will ensure
that the grantee knows that mentoring
relationships are meeting the
established milestones and that
mentoring activities are faithful to
characteristics established by research
as essential to success. Data collected
will allow the Administration for
Children and Families to compare the
MCP service delivery demonstration
project with the MCP grant program.
Data collected will also support the
grantee as it carries out ongoing
responsibilities and manages
information for internal uses.
Respondents: Public, faith-based and
community organizations applying to
and implementing the MCP service
delivery demonstration project.
