Under this three-year award, CTUIR will utilize the formula grant funds in accordance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act requirements, which include developing and implementing a comprehensive CCDF plan, establishing child care subsidy programs, setting sliding fee scales, and coordinating with local and state child care initiatives. The tribe must maintain compliance with federal regulations outlined in 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99, retain all financial records for three years following submission of financial reports, and conduct required public hearings and community consultation as mandated for tribal lead agencies.
