Jill Hunter-Williams, Ph.D., Deputy Chief of Staff for the Honorable Congressman Danny K. Davis (IL-07). Dr. Hunter-Williams and another congressional policy executive analyst will join FFCA from the Washington, DC office to expand the impacts on Fatherhood and Healthy Marriage/Relationship Grants:
- Clarifies that States can provide non-custodial parents the same work supports as custodial parents.
- Enhances the Fatherhood and Healthy Marriage program by:
- Ensuring voluntary participation and penalty if state conditions benefit from assistance;
Promoting healthy relationships and marriages and focusing funding on low-income non-custodial parents who are ineligible for TANF; and
Creating a new grant for partnerships between domestic violence prevention organizations and fatherhood programs for staff training, domestic violence services, and disseminating best practices with the authorization of $25 million
Dr. Hunter-Williams will address new and exciting legislation that will create national demonstration projects that tie in the child-welfare/foster-care professional community with criminal justice and fatherhood practitioners. Moreover, a specialist from the House of Representatives will join Dr. Hunter-Williams for all of Fathers and Families Coalition of America's Affiliates, Members and Community Stakeholders (new and existing) for a critical Congressional Brief on The Family First Prevention Services Act.
