The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded a $157,405 Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) to the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians in Michigan. This 3-year grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, will fund the tribe's child care and early education programming. The CCDF block grant program serves as the primary federal funding source to help low-income families access affordable, high-quality child care and to improve overall child care quality nationwide. The Grand Traverse Band, a federally recognized Native American tribe, will utilize this funding to provide child care subsidies, implement quality enhancement initiatives, support workforce development, and conduct research to inform child care policies and best practices that benefit the approximately 4,000 enrolled tribal members and the surrounding community.
