Federal Block Grant Award Summary

The Quinault Indian Nation received a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant totaling $1,271,352 from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Family Assistance (CFDA 93.558) for the fiscal year October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Under this award, the tribe implements its federally approved TANF plan to provide comprehensive family assistance services designed to support low-income families with children, promote economic self-sufficiency, and encourage family stability within the tribal community.

The funding supports the Quinault Indian Nation's delivery of financial assistance, employment training, child care services, and related supportive services to eligible tribal members and residents. The award is consistent with the TANF program's core objectives of enabling children to be cared for in their own homes or with relatives, reducing dependence on government benefits through job preparation and workforce development, and promoting two-parent family formation. Funds are disbursed quarterly following the tribe's plan approval by the Administration for Children and Families, with the tribe maintaining full responsibility for program implementation and compliance with applicable audit and financial accountability requirements under 2 CFR Part 200.
