Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah received a $363,121.00 formula grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, under the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Mandatory and Matching Funds program (CFDA 93.596) administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Child Care. This award supports the tribe's delivery of child care services and programs designed to improve access to affordable, quality child care for low-income families within the tribe's service area in southwestern Utah.

Under this formula grant, the tribe will utilize the funding to support child care assistance and quality improvement initiatives consistent with CCDF program requirements. As a federally recognized tribal lead agency, the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah must develop and maintain a comprehensive CCDF plan, establish payment rates and sliding fee scales, coordinate with local and federal child care programs, and ensure compliance with federal regulations including documentation, audit, and record retention requirements. The three-year funding period allows the tribe to sustain ongoing child care services and strategic initiatives that support family economic self-sufficiency and early childhood development within its constituent bands.
