THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Immigrant Children/Youth, Family Support, Child/Youth Development, Housing, Healthcare
Deadline: Feb. 16, 2024 (letters of intent)
“The goal of this CFP is to fund research on policies that can advance the full social, economic, and civic inclusion of immigrant children and families. The intention is to spotlight policies that can transform systems/structures that ensure equal access to (and take-up of) goods and services, including public benefits, irrespective of immigration status. The proposed research can cover a wide range of service systems, and related policies, including but not limited to the following:
- Early childhood care and education (including informal and home-based care) and access to subsidies and unbiased quality standards;
- Publicly-funded healthcare services, such as Medicaid, public health services, school- and community-based health services, maternal and child health services, sexual and reproductive health services, psychological counseling, and trauma-informed behavioral health (mental health and addiction) services;
- Publicly-funded social services, such as food and nutrition programs, out-of-school programs for children and youth, community safety and inter-personal violence prevention programs, and disability- and aging-related services and supports;
- Other safety net programs such as TANF, SSI/SSDI, unemployment insurance, utility assistance, emergency food and shelter, and public benefit navigator programs;
- Safe and affordable housing options and supports, including those relating to tenant rights, eviction prevention, first-time home buyer credits, and homeowner assistance;
- Community development, communication, connectivity, transportation, and public health emergency-, climate change-, and disaster-related supports;
- Civic engagement, driver’s licenses (and alternate IDs), language access, access to job training, entrepreneurship, and business development opportunities, and other welcoming and inclusive policies;
- Legal and financial services, including those related to immigration, lending/borrowing, tax filing (e.g., ITIN) and tax credits (e.g., EITC and CTC), and other public or private benefits and protections.”
