Federal Block Grant Award Summary

The Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation received a $3,675,566 Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) discretionary award from the Office of Child Care (Administration for Children and Families, CFDA 93.575) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. Under this award, the tribal lead agency will provide child care subsidies and services to low-income families within the Goshute Reservation in Utah. The funding supports access to affordable, high-quality child care through mechanisms such as vouchers or certificates, while also enabling quality improvement initiatives for both subsidized and unsubsidized child care services.

As a formula block grant recipient, the tribe is responsible for developing and maintaining a three-year Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) plan that outlines the intended use of funds in compliance with the CCDBG Act. The award enables the tribal lead agency to establish a sliding fee scale, coordinate child care services with other federal and local early childhood development programs, and implement policies and procedures that meet federal requirements. The tribe must conduct public hearings and maintain accountability for fund utilization while supporting the healthy development and learning outcomes of children in the tribal community.
