Formula Grant 2602NESAVP

The Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services 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 funds the establishment and administration of programs that support non-custodial parents' access to and visitation with their children throughout Nebraska. The grant supports a range of eligible activities designed to facilitate parent-child connections, including mediation, counseling, education, development of parenting plans, visitation enforcement (including monitoring and supervision), and development of guidelines for visitation and alternative custody arrangements.

The formula grant allocation is determined by the number of children in Nebraska living with only one biological parent relative to the national total, with a federal minimum allotment of $100,000 for any fiscal year. The awardee is required to supplement—not supplant—existing state expenditures for similar activities at a level equal to or greater than fiscal year 1995 baseline spending. All grant administration and record maintenance must comply with 2 CFR Part 200 and applicable HHS regulations, with performance reporting and compliance oversight conducted by the funding agency throughout the two-year award period.
