The federal Formula Grant award, valued at $654,977,220.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund (CFDA 93.596) program. This funding supports comprehensive childcare services for low-income families in Texas, including childcare subsidies, early childhood education programs, facility improvements, child welfare services, nutrition programs, and workforce development for childcare providers. The grant aims to enhance access to affordable, high-quality childcare while supporting parental employment and education. The state of Texas was awarded this multi-year Formula Grant, with an initial performance period starting on October 1, 2024. The state designated the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) as the lead agency to administer the grant and develop the required three-year childcare development plan. TWC subsequently provided numerous sub-awards to regional workforce boards, councils of government, non-profit organizations, and other local entities across Texas to deliver the childcare and workforce development services at the community level. These sub-awardees provided employment services, job training programs, childcare assistance, and other initiatives to support low-income families, dislocated workers, and individuals with barriers to employment.
