Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oregon Department of Human Services Self-Sufficiency Division received a $6.69 million Social Services Block Grant (SSBG, CFDA 93.667) from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This formula grant enables Oregon to deliver flexible, population-tailored social services addressing vulnerability and self-sufficiency across the state. The funding supports a comprehensive range of interventions, including child welfare services, adult protective services, mental health services, substance abuse prevention and treatment, nutrition assistance, energy assistance, employment and training programs, and community support services designed to reduce dependency, promote self-sufficiency, and protect individuals from neglect and abuse.

As the prime recipient, the Oregon Department of Human Services Self-Sufficiency Division distributes sub-awards to local non-profits, counties, tribal entities, and educational institutions to facilitate direct service delivery throughout Oregon's communities. The division maintains detailed expenditure records and submits required Pre-Expenditure Reports and Intended Use Plans to HHS on specified deadlines, with funds distributed quarterly upon acceptance of these reports. Compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 and HHS-specific provisions in 2 CFR Part 300 applies to this award, with certain compliance provisions waived to maximize programmatic flexibility in addressing Oregon's unique social service needs.
