Federal Block Grant Award Summary

The Las Vegas Paiute Tribe received a $714,641 Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) discretionary award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Care (CFDA 93.575). The award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, supports the tribe's delivery of child care and early childhood education services to low-income families and tribal members within the Clark County, Nevada service area. As a federally recognized tribal government and lead agency, the tribe utilizes block grant funding to provide child care subsidies, enhance child care quality, and improve early childhood education infrastructure in alignment with the Child Care and Development Fund's core objectives.

The Las Vegas Paiute Tribe maintains a documented track record administering CCDF resources, including concurrent formula grant funding of $174,347. The block grant funding complements the tribe's broader community service portfolio, which encompasses health care, housing, and technology infrastructure initiatives. Recipients of CCDBG block grants must submit tri-annual plans detailing their intended use of funds, establish sliding fee scales for eligible families, and comply with federal auditing and financial management requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 and 45 CFR Parts 98-99. The award reflects sustained federal investment in tribal capacity to deliver affordable, quality child care services to vulnerable populations.
