The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Family Assistance, is seeking public comments on a new data collection for the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) Grant Programs. These programs are designed to improve family stability through education and parenting initiatives. The new cohort of grantees, awarded in 2020, will be required to collect detailed information about program activities, participant demographics, and outcomes using revised data collection tools. Comments are requested on these revisions to ensure the effectiveness of the data collection and improve program delivery.
Simple Explanation
The Administration for Children and Families wants to know what people think about new rules for collecting information from programs that help parents and marriages be healthier. They are updating how they collect details on what happens in these programs to make sure they do a good job.
