The Department of Child Services, a division of the State of Indiana, received a $61,921,285 Block Grant award on October 1, 2024 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families to fund the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563). This program focuses on enforcing child support obligations through services designed to locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child and spousal support orders. The funding enables the Department to deliver critical child welfare services, family support, child protective investigations, foster care case management, adoption subsidies, developmental disability support, child care assistance, and child support enforcement across Indiana. The Department has also received funding from the Administration for Community Living for programs benefiting individuals with developmental disabilities. The award involves a formula block grant, allowing the Department flexibility in administering services through local partners and sub-awardees like the Indiana Budget Agency.
