Federal Grant Award Summary

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services received a $16.56 million Formula Grant from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Child Welfare Services Program (CFDA 93.645), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award supports the state's development and expansion of coordinated child and family services delivered through community-based agencies across Michigan. The funding enables MDHHS to administer child welfare social services at the state level while distributing federal resources to county-level agencies, local health departments, community action agencies, and nonprofit service providers to ensure statewide service delivery.

As a Formula Grant, this award is distributed according to the statutory allocation methodology established under Title IV-B of the Social Security Act. MDHHS is required to submit a five-year agency plan jointly developed with HHS and approved by September 30 annually, with plan updates due by June 30 each year. The agency draws down funds from an established account post-approval and must maintain records in compliance with 45 CFR Part 75, along with applicable regulations under 45 CFR Parts 1355 and 1357. The two-year performance period aligns with the standard funding cycle for this program, which operates on a consistent annual basis across all state and tribal recipients.
