The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) received a $155,867,567 block grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families under the Foster Care Title IV-E program (CFDA 93.658). The grant supports DCF in providing safe and stable out-of-home care for children under the state's jurisdiction until they can be safely returned home, placed with adoptive families, or transitioned to permanent living arrangements.
DCF utilizes this funding to deliver a range of community-based child welfare services across Florida, including case management, foster home licensing, adoption assistance, independent living programs, and court-related services. DCF further sub-awards portions of the grant to non-profit organizations and local government entities like Citrus Health Network, Partnership for Strong Families, Heartland for Children, and Saint Johns County to serve as lead agencies implementing these critical child welfare initiatives within their respective regions.
