massachusetts department of education

Please note: This grant program will be transferred to the new Department of Early Education and Care on July 1, 2005. Massachusetts Family Network Fund Code: 296 Purpose: The purpose of this grant program is to support the continuation of the Massachusetts Family Network program (MFN) in the development and implementation of various models of parent outreach, education, and support that are effective with families with young children (prenatal through 3 years old). The initiative strives to create collaborative, comprehensive, high quality networks of family support services that are culturally sensitive, welcoming, and accessible to all families with young children by providing a combination of direct services and information and referral to existing services. The four priorities of MFN are to: 1. plan and conduct outreach to all families with young children (prenatal through 3 years old) through a variety of methods so that families, including those that may be difficult to reach by traditional methods, are provided with opportunities to participate in a variety of programs; Priorities: 2. coordinate a system of community family education and support resources and services for all families with young children (prenatal through 3 years old) through a governing council and other collaborative efforts that include parents; 3. structure opportunities for parents to build upon their educational experiences, increase parenting skills to enhance their children's development, take leadership roles in the community, and develop community and inter-family relationships; and 4. evaluate the community's Family Network program and develop a process for making adaptations and improvements based on evaluation information. Eligibility: Funding: Fund Use: Funds will be awarded to the 42 lead agencies that received MFN grants in FY2005. The eligibility amount of each MFN program will be sent in a separate mailing and is subject to FY2006 state appropriation. Through direct services, referrals, and subcontracts with community providers, grant funds must be used to provide (at a minimum) the following program components: an accessible space to implement program activities (e.g., a family center); home visits; child development information; health and developmental screening; adult education; family literacy activities; family and community events; parent education and support groups; leadership opportunities; assistance with meeting basic needs; playgroups, including integrated playgroups in collaboration with Early Intervention programs; and support of local coalition building activities.
