Ccdd-2026 - child care and development block grant discretionary

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded $719,871.60 to Crow Creek Sioux Tribe on October 1, 2025, under the Child Care and Development Block Grant program (CFDA 93.575).

The award funds child care subsidies and quality improvement services for the Crow Creek Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The Child Care and Development Block Grant is the primary federal funding mechanism to help families with low incomes access child care and to enhance child care quality for all children. Block grants flow to states, territories, and tribes as lead agencies submitting three-year Child Care and Development Fund plans, which must include designations of lead agencies, policies and procedures, intended use of funds, payment rate certifications, and sliding fee scales in compliance with the CCDBG Act and 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99.

Performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. Crow Creek Sioux Tribe performs all work directly as the prime recipient with no identified sub-recipients. The tribe's federal grant portfolio spans nutrition assistance, child care, environmental programs, and community development initiatives, with the Administration for Children and Families funding multiple Child Care and Development Block Grant awards and mandatory and matching child care services funding with combined multi-year periods extending through September 2028.
