About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families distributed $1.99 billion in ARRA child care assistance funding to states, territories, tribes, and tribal organizations under CFDA 93.713, with all 316 awards obligated on October 1, 2008.
This program does not remain active. All documented grant activity occurred in fiscal year 2008 as a one-time appropriation under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The most recent award date is October 1, 2008—over 18 years in the past. No grant opportunities are currently open, and no new funding cycles have been documented since the initial 2008 distribution.
The program funded child care assistance for low-income families through state and territorial child care subsidy programs, with emphasis on enabling parental choice, supporting families transitioning from public assistance, and advancing state health, safety, licensing, and registration standards. Recipients included all 50 states and territories, each receiving a formula-based allocation tied to population and need.
The assistance-type mix was predominantly Block Grants, accounting for 95 percent of awards (299 awards), with the remaining 5 percent delivered as Formula Grants (17 awards). Award magnitudes varied widely, from under $4,000 for small-population territories to over $214 million for large states. Representative major awards included Texas at $214.85 million, North Carolina at $67.54 million, Louisiana at $40 million, and Wisconsin at $30.49 million.
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families was the sole funding agency, obligating $1.93 billion across 315 block grant awards and $67.5 million across one formula grant—a consolidated distribution mechanism reflecting the stimulus appropriation structure.
Do not pursue. This program expired following the 2008 stimulus cycle and has no active or planned funding line.

The ARRA - CCDBG is a part of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) program, along with Child Care Discretionary Funds (CFDA number 93.575) the Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds (CFDA number 93.596). This supplemental FY 2009 CCDBG funding was appropriated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).
