The $970,956 federal Block Grant award under the Foster Care Title IV-E program (CFDA 93.658), administered by the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families, will provide funding to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) to support safe and stable out-of-home care for children under the tribe's child welfare jurisdiction. The grant will enable EBCI to deliver foster care maintenance payments, administrative expenses, training for staff and foster parents, and support for foster care case management systems. This funding will assist the tribe in ensuring children can be safely returned home, placed with adoptive families, or transitioned to permanent living arrangements. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
