Federal Grant Award Summary

The Ute Indian Tribe received a formula grant award of $110,829.00 from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Child Care, under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Mandatory and Matching Funds program (CFDA 93.596). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, provides financial assistance to support child care services for low-income families within the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Utah.

Under this award, the Ute Indian Tribe, as the lead agency recipient, will utilize the mandatory and matching funds to help eligible tribal families access affordable, quality child care services while parents work or pursue education and training. The funding supports the Tribe's comprehensive child care initiatives, which may include subsidizing child care costs for low-income households, enhancing the quality of child care services, and promoting early childhood development. As a formula grant recipient, the Tribe is required to develop and submit a three-year Child Care and Development Fund plan for approval by the Administration for Children and Families and must maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements under the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act.
