The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Scotts Valley Band Pomo Indians $105,623.95 on October 1, 2025, under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Discretionary program (CFDA 93.575).
The award supports child care services and quality improvements in California. The Child Care and Development Block Grant provides child care subsidies primarily through vouchers or certificates to families with low income, and funds improvements to the quality of child care for both subsidized and unsubsidized children.
Performance runs through September 30, 2028. The Scotts Valley Band Pomo Indians, a federally recognized tribal government located in Lakeport, California, serves as the recipient and lead agency responsible for administering the block grant funds in compliance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act, including development of a three-year CCDF plan, establishment of a sliding fee scale, and coordination with other federal, state, and local child care and early childhood development programs.
