Block Grant 2201NYCCDD

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $545.3 million block grant to the New York Office of Children & Family Services from October 2021 through September 2024 under the Child Care and Development Block Grant program. As outlined in the CFDA, the grant funding will help certain low-income families in New York access child care and improve the quality of care for all children. The New York Office of Children & Family Services will oversee service delivery and distribute some of the grant funds to local providers through its Division of Administration. The block grant structure affords the State flexibility in administering programs that meet the goals of increasing child care access and quality.
