Discretionary Targeted Assistance Grant (TAG) Program

Description: Grants assist communities with refugee populations. The program assists refugee populations which have been unable to make the transition to self-sufficiency. Applications are encouraged from programs addressing needs of single moms, alternative lifestyle populations or those with special needs. ACF encourages applications from applicants who will use this funding to serve eligible populations in counties that did not qualify for TAG formula funding and do not have other alternative funding resources.

Funding Available: $4.76 million for 25 awards (no match required)
