Formula Grant 2601WYCWSS

The Wyoming Department of Family Services received a $448,181 formula grant awarded on October 1, 2025, under the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Child Welfare Services Program (CFDA 93.645), administered by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families. This award supports the state's delivery of coordinated child welfare and family services through community-based agencies across Wyoming. The grant funds the development and implementation of comprehensive child and family services that integrate Title IV-B child welfare services with other federal and federally assisted programs serving vulnerable populations.

The grant requires Wyoming DFS to maintain a five-year agency plan jointly developed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with annual updates due by June 30 each year. The funded services leverage partnerships with sub-recipients and community organizations to address child welfare, foster care, adoption assistance, and related family support services across the state. Award funds are distributed through a draw-down account system following approval of the state's service plan, with all activities subject to 45 CFR Part 75 compliance requirements. The award period extends through September 30, 2027.
