This federal Block Grant award of $3,918,033 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families, under the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) program, supports the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) in Washington state. This award will enable DCYF to deliver critical child care services, including child care subsidies, quality improvement initiatives, workforce development programs, and research on child care policies and practices. As the primary federal funding source for child care services, the Child Care and Development Block Grant aims to increase access to affordable, high-quality child care, support working families, promote child development, and enhance early childhood education infrastructure. DCYF frequently issues sub-awards to local governments, health districts, tribal organizations, hospitals, non-profits, and educational institutions to implement these direct services in communities across Washington.
