The U.S Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Program is awarded for a broad range of services. SSBG funding and other domestic violence funds are leveraged to not only help meet the goals of other programs, but to meet one of SSBG’s broad statutory goals of “preventing or remedying neglect, abuse, or exploitation of children and adults unable to protect their own interest or preserving, rehabilitation, or reuniting families.”
The Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) is the primary recipient of the SSBG Award in the State of Indiana. DCS subsequently awards funding to several other state agencies for various social service initiatives within the State of Indiana. Each year, DCS provides SSBG funds to Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) in order to assist residential domestic violence programs in providing emergency shelter to survivors of domestic violence and their dependents.

Eligibility Criteria
Public social service entities, nonprofit organizations, and nongovernmental organizations who provide residential services to victims of domestic and family violence may apply for funding.
An entity may apply, but will not be eligible for a grant until the entity has prequalified through a series of threshold requirements including:
- DUNS Number and Unique Entity ID: Historically, subgrantees (i.e., subrecipients) were required to obtain and report a DUNS number. Beginning on April 4, 2022, a Unique Entity ID (UEI) issued through the System for Award Management (SAM) will be required instead of a DUNS number to receive funding. The UEI is entered in the Project Information section of the grant application.
- System for Award Management (SAM) Registration: To enable ICJI to report subawards in a timely manner, subrecipients are also required to register with System for Award Management (SAM). SAM is a federally owned and operated free website, and it will be used to populate the information needed to report subaward information.
- Review of agency’s good standing with Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR), Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and Secretary of State (SOS) will occur prior to executing the grant.
