Block Grant 2502OKPSGP

The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OK DHS) received a $857,044 block grant award under the Title IV-E Prevention Program (CFDA 93.472) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. This grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, will fund time-limited prevention services for mental health, substance abuse, and in-home parent skill-based programs to strengthen families and prevent child removals from the home. As the designated state agency for major federal assistance programs, OK DHS manages over $1.3 billion in annual federal grant funding to deliver health, education, employment, and social services across Oklahoma. The agency collaborates extensively with community organizations, food banks, tribes, and local non-profits as sub-recipients to effectively deliver these federally-funded social services to vulnerable populations throughout the state.
