The Delaware Tribe of Indians has been awarded a $399,041.95 FY 2024 Tribal Child Support Services Comprehensive Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.563 - Child Support Services). This 12-month grant, effective October 1, 2023, will support the tribe's efforts to enforce child support obligations, locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child, spousal, and medical support payments. As an SBA-certified 8(a) contractor, the Delaware Tribe has demonstrated experience delivering specialized cultural services and support to federal agencies, often without set-aside designations. The tribe administers various federal grants, including over $3 million in Child Care and Development Block Grants and funding for energy assistance, domestic violence prevention, and other critical community programs. Through this latest award, the Delaware Tribe will provide comprehensive child support enforcement services tailored to their local population, potentially involving sub-awards to community organizations for direct service delivery.
