Formula Grant 2601KYSOSR

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Cabinet for Health Services Kentucky $51,995,048 on October 1, 2025, under the Social Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.667). The award funds social services tailored to Kentucky residents' needs, including services directed toward reducing dependency and promoting self-sufficiency, protecting children and adults from neglect, abuse, and exploitation, and enabling individuals unable to care for themselves to remain in their homes or access institutional care.

The Cabinet for Health Services Kentucky, a state government entity headquartered in Frankfort, receives and administers the award as the designated state-level recipient for federal health and human services programs in Kentucky. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Work is performed primarily in Frankfort with subordinate service delivery across all 120 Kentucky counties through Area Agencies on Aging, local health departments, community-based organizations, and regional development districts serving as sub-awardees and pass-through recipients.

The Social Services Block Grant is a flexible funding mechanism that allows states and territories to tailor social service programming to population needs. Recipients must submit a Pre-Expenditure Report and Intended Use Plan reviewed and accepted by the federal awarding agency before quarterly fund releases. States must maintain records documenting expenditure purposes and retain records for three years after final disposition for any land purchases, facility construction, or permanent improvements.
