Federal Block Grant Award Summary

Pueblo De San Felipe, a federally recognized Indian tribe located in Algodones, New Mexico, received a $1,153,711 Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) award from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. Under CFDA 93.575, the tribe will utilize these discretionary funds to support child care services for low-income families within the tribal community. The grant enables Pueblo De San Felipe to provide child care subsidies, improve early childhood education infrastructure, enhance child care quality, and support related workforce development initiatives that promote children's healthy development and learning.

As the tribal lead agency, Pueblo De San Felipe will administer the block grant in accordance with the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) requirements, including the development and submission of a three-year CCDF plan, establishment of sliding fee scales, and coordination with other federal, state, and local child care and early childhood development programs. The tribe's demonstrated capacity to manage federal funding across multiple agencies and programs, evidenced by its successful administration of over $1.1 million in prior CCDF awards, positions it to effectively execute this discretionary funding to address critical child care needs and support economic stability for tribal families.
