The Administration for Children and Family Services awarded the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services a block grant of $1,031,704 on October 1, 2025, under the Title IV-E Guardianship Assistance Program (CFDA 93.090). This award, effective through September 30, 2026, provides financial assistance payments to relative guardians who have assumed legal guardianship of eligible children transitioning from foster care. The program removes financial barriers to permanency by enabling states to offer ongoing guardianship assistance to relatives, facilitating stable and legally recognized family placements for children who cannot be reunited with their parents. DCFS administers the guardianship assistance payments as part of its comprehensive child welfare portfolio, working in coordination with county governments and community service providers throughout Louisiana. The block grant funding allows the state agency flexibility in allocating resources based on estimated quarterly expenditures (due July 30, October 30, January 30, and April 30), with final awards adjusted to reflect actual allowable claimed costs. This funding mechanism supports DCFS's broader mission of ensuring child protection and family stability while maintaining compliance with 45 CFR Part 75 financial and programmatic record-keeping requirements.FY 2026 Guardianship Assistance Block Grant Summary
