About this award

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Department of Social Services California $248,220,330 on October 1, 2025, under the Child Care and Development Fund Mandatory and Matching Funds program (CFDA 93.596). The funding supports child care subsidies and quality improvements for low-income families in California across the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028.

The Department of Social Services California, acting as the state lead agency through its Finance and Accounting Division, administers these mandatory and matching formula grant funds statewide. The lead agency develops and implements the triennial Child Care and Development Fund plan, holds public hearings, coordinates with local governments and other child care and early childhood development programs, and establishes sliding fee scales for families. The department passes funds through to county-level social services agencies, nonprofit organizations, community colleges, local educational authorities, and community action organizations that deliver direct child care services across California's 58 counties.

The Foundation for California Community Colleges received a sub-award (dated October 13, 2025) to support child care and development activities under this funding stream.
