The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Coquille Indian Tribe $194,865.49 under the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CFDA 93.575) on October 1, 2025, with performance extending through September 30, 2028.
The block grant funds child care and development services for the Tribe in Oregon. The Coquille Indian Tribe, a federally recognized Native American government based in Coos Bay, Oregon, operates the award as lead agency and recipient. The grant is one of 17 Child Care and Development Fund awards the Tribe holds across fiscal years 2021 through 2026.
As a tribal lead agency under the program, the Tribe is required to submit and execute a three-year Child Care and Development Fund plan that outlines the use of block grant funds to provide child care subsidies and improve child care quality, establish a sliding fee scale, hold public hearings, and coordinate with other federal, state, and local child care and early childhood development programs.
