Formula Grant 2602AKSAVP

The Judiciary Courts of State of Alaska Administration Division received a $100,000 formula grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families under the Grants to States for Access and Visitation Programs (CFDA 93.597), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. This award supports the Alaska Court System's establishment and administration of programs that facilitate non-custodial parents' access to and visitation with their children throughout the state.

Under this grant, the Alaska Court System provides core services including mediation, counseling, parenting education, development of parenting plans, visitation enforcement with monitoring and supervision capabilities, and guidelines for alternative custody arrangements. The program operates as a formula grant allocation based on the number of children in Alaska living with a single biological parent, with the funding required to supplement rather than replace existing state expenditures for similar activities. The Alaska Court System's Access and Visitation Program represents one of the state's recurring federal grant initiatives designed to strengthen family relationships and support shared parenting approaches across Alaska's judicial system.
