The State of Florida received a $227.4 million Block Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The funding supports the Adoption Assistance program (CFDA #93.659), which provides Federal Financial Participation to help cover adoption subsidy costs for children with special needs who cannot be reunited with their families. As the designated state agency, the Florida Office of the State Courts Administrator will administer subsidy payments and related adoption services to facilitate permanent homes for children in the child welfare system. The award will help the state defray costs associated with adopting hard-to-place children and ensure their needs are met in stable family environments.
