The Lummi Indian Business Council, doing business as the Lummi Tribe of Lummi Reservation, received a $1,154,581.56 Block Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families for the FY2026 Tribal Child Support Comprehensive Grant program (CFDA 93.563). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, funds tribal child support enforcement services designed to establish and enforce parental support obligations, locate absent parents, establish paternity, and obtain child, spousal, and medical support obligations for eligible families within the Lummi Nation.
Under this federal block grant program, the Lummi Tribe will operate child support enforcement services in accordance with approved Title IV-D (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) administrative requirements. The funding covers operational expenses for the tribe's child support services division, which administers enforcement activities, maintains required records in compliance with applicable federal regulations (45 CFR Part 75), and reports performance metrics to HHS. As a federally recognized tribal government with demonstrated capacity in grant administration and social services delivery, the Lummi Indian Business Council will utilize this funding to sustain comprehensive child support enforcement operations serving the tribal community.
