Federal Grant Award Summary

The Government of Guam - Department of Administration, Bureau of Statistics and Plans, received a $100,000 formula grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families under the Grants to States for Access and Visitation Programs (CFDA 93.597). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports Guam's establishment and administration of programs designed to facilitate non-custodial parents' access to and visitation with their children.

Under this two-year award, Guam will deliver a range of activities to support parent-child relationships and shared parenting arrangements, including mediation services (both voluntary and mandatory), counseling, parenting education, development of parenting plans, visitation enforcement (including monitoring, supervision, and neutral drop-off and pick-up services), and development of guidelines for visitation and alternative custody arrangements. As a formula grant allocable based on the number of children living with a single biological parent, this funding supplements existing state expenditures for access and visitation services and represents the minimum allotment threshold established under federal statute.
