Formula Grant 2602MICCDF

The State of Michigan, through its Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, received a Formula Grant award of $33.69 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF, CFDA 93.596). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, supports the provision of child care services for low-income families throughout Michigan, with primary focus on improving child care affordability and enhancing service quality for all children.

Under this three-year award, Michigan delivers comprehensive child care assistance including subsidies to help low-income families access affordable, quality child care while parents engage in work or education and training activities. The funding enables the state to support child care quality improvement initiatives and early childhood development programs. As the lead agency, Michigan's Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential is responsible for plan development, program administration, and coordination with federal, state, and local stakeholders. The department has demonstrated capacity to sub-award portions of grant funding to local educational service agencies, universities, health departments, and nonprofit organizations to extend service delivery and impact across the state.
