Ssbg-2026 - social services block grant

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Oregon Department of Human Services $41.833 million under the Social Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.667) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027.

The SSBG provides flexible funding that allows states to tailor social service programming to their population's needs, supporting services directed toward reducing dependency and promoting self-sufficiency, protecting children and adults from neglect and abuse, and enabling individuals unable to care for themselves to remain in their homes or access appropriate institutional arrangements.

Oregon acts as the state-level intermediary, distributing funding through sub-awards to local entities. At least one sub-award, issued July 31, 2026, supports the recipient's program in Multnomah County schools. The recipient must submit a Pre-Expenditure Report and Intended Use Plan meeting OMB Form No. 0970-0234 requirements before receiving quarterly fund distributions. Post-Expenditure Reports are due no later than March 30, 2026, following the close of the federal fiscal year. Oregon must maintain records documenting expenditure purposes and, for entities requesting waivers related to land or facility purchases or improvements, retain records for three years after final disposition.
