The Iowa Department of Human Services received a $110.1 million block grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The award, provided under the Child Care and Development Block Grant program (CFDA 93.575), will support child care and development services in Iowa from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.
As the primary federal funding source to help low-income families access child care and improve quality, the CCDF block grant authorizes this funding to support Iowa's provision of subsidized child care options and efforts to enhance program standards. The Iowa Department of Human Services will oversee award implementation through its Division of Fiscal Management, utilizing the funding to directly deliver child care assistance and quality improvement initiatives statewide over the three-year project period.
