Formula Grant 2602ORCWSS

The Oregon Department of Human Services received a $3.02M formula grant award from the Administration for Children, Youth and Families under the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Child Welfare Services Program (CFDA 93.645) beginning October 1, 2025, and concluding September 30, 2027. This funding supports the state's development and expansion of coordinated child and family services programs that emphasize community-based service delivery. The grant requires Oregon to maintain a comprehensive five-year agency plan—jointly developed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—that coordinates child welfare services under Title IV-B with complementary federal and federally-assisted programs serving vulnerable populations.

Under this award, ODHS delivers essential child welfare and social services designed to protect and support Oregon's most vulnerable children and families. The agency implements these services through coordination with local non-profit organizations and community service providers, ensuring comprehensive service delivery across Oregon. As with all recipients of this formula grant program, ODHS must comply with applicable federal regulations including 45 CFR Parts 75, 1355, and 1357, maintain required documentation and reporting protocols, and submit annual plan updates by June 30 each year for approval by September 30.
