Federal Grant Award Summary

Redding Rancheria received a formula grant award of $131,720.00 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Child Care, under the Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF, CFDA 93.596). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, supports the provision of child care services to low-income families within the Redding Rancheria tribal service area in California. As a federally recognized tribal government and lead agency under the CCDF program, Redding Rancheria uses these mandatory and matching funds to help eligible families access affordable, quality child care while parents work or pursue education and training opportunities.

The funding supports comprehensive child care development initiatives aligned with CCDF program objectives, including subsidizing child care costs for low-income households, improving the quality of child care services, and promoting early childhood development within Native American communities. This award represents a portion of Redding Rancheria's broader federal grant portfolio for child care and development, which totals over $545,051 for the current grant period across multiple Office of Child Care funding mechanisms. As the designated lead agency, Redding Rancheria maintains responsibility for administering the program in compliance with CCDF regulations, including submission of a three-year plan to the Administration for Children and Families and maintenance of required financial records and reporting.
