As part of the federal welfare reform of 1996, Congress recognized the need to promote responsible fatherhood as a way to support child wellbeing.2 During the 106th Congress (1999 - 2000), Congress provided funding to the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI), a non-profit organization that works with government agencies, the military, corrections departments, and community organizations to create fatherhood
programs.3 Concurrently, Congress also provided funding to evaluate the Institute for Responsible Fatherhood and Family Revitalization's fatherhood
program, signaling the federal government's commitment to researching and assessing the impact of responsible fatherhood
programs.4 Although Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama included funding for responsible fatherhood
programs in each of their budgets, it was not until the 109th Congress of 2005 - 2006 that the Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood (HMPRF) grants
program was created and funded under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 beginning in FY2006 and continuing through FY2010.5 The

programs support healthy marriage, responsible parenting, and economic stability activities, and are funded through the U.S. Department of Health and
