FY2026 Tribal Child Support Comprehensive Grant Summary

The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation received a $2.46 million block grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Support Enforcement under the Child Support Services program (CFDA 93.563) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This funding supports the tribe's child support enforcement services, enabling the delivery of critical programs focused on locating absent parents, establishing paternity, and obtaining child, spousal, and medical support obligations to ensure children receive financial support from both parents regardless of living arrangements.

As a federally recognized tribal government, the Colville Confederated Tribes leverage this block grant to administer comprehensive child support services aligned with Title IV-D requirements. The award enables the tribe to maintain administrative and legal frameworks for support enforcement operations, process case management activities, and serve eligible tribal members and families. The funding structure includes matching federal financial participation and performance-based incentive funds based on the tribe's documented outcomes in child support enforcement activities throughout the fiscal year.
