    The RPG grant program is in its 7th round of funding, to date there have been 127 projects in 40 states and 613 counties. The program supports interagency collaborations and integration of evidence-based and evidence-informed programs, services, and activities. Results from previous RPG projects demonstrate that the majority of children at risk of removal remained in their parent’s custody following enrollment into RPG services. Among youth who were in an out-of-home placement, the rates of placement into permanent settings, including reunification with their parent(s), increased significantly in the year following RPG enrollment. In addition, the overall rates of child maltreatment decreased substantially in the year after enrollment in the RPG program. A legislatively required cross site evaluation is a part of the RPG program, additional information and findings can be found here (https://rpg-cse.acf.hhs.gov/ )including Reports to Congress.
