The Healthy Marriage (HM) and Responsible Fatherhood (RF) programs are discretionary grant programs administered by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). OFA also works with the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, within ACF, as one way to learn how to best serve families through the grants.
OFA published funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) for the 2020 round of HMRF grants. Under these FOAs, OFA made grant awards to organizations, states, and other entities to provide activities that promote healthy marriage and relationship education and responsible fatherhood.
