County Of Delaware

County Of Delaware, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Delaware, Ohio, acts as a sub-recipient on federal grant awards flowing through Ohio state agencies, with 93% of its recent federal footprint composed of sub-awards and 7% of prime grant awards under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The county receives formula grants directly from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and distributes or receives pass-through federal funding for social services, transportation infrastructure, and emergency management from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the Ohio Department of Medicaid, the Ohio Department of Transportation, the Ohio Department of Health, and the Attorney General of Ohio.

County Of Delaware's customer concentration reflects Ohio state intermediation. The top five funding agencies account for 73% of awards by count, led by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (33 total awards across two distinct line items), the HHS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (13 awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (10 awards), and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (7 awards). The award count and potential-value rankings track closely, with HHS agencies dominating both volume and dollars. The combined obligated dollars across all awards total $18.2 million, substantially exceeding the combined potential value of $3 thousand — a figure reflecting grant accounting conventions where obligated amounts reflect actual cash draws and performance rather than contract ceiling values.

The county's grant work spans Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) administration and regular assistance, Medicaid eligibility determination, child welfare services (IV-E administration and training), child support enforcement, child care voucher eligibility, food assistance, emergency management performance grants, maternal and child health services, crime victim services, and transportation safety improvements. Representative sub-awards include multiple TANF Regular and TANF Admin allocations from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (awarded throughout 2024, 2025, and 2026), recurring Medicaid Eligibility Determination sub-awards from the Ohio Department of Medicaid (most recent in April 2026), roadside and intersection safety improvement funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation (awarded in December 2023 and July 2025), and crime victim services sub-awards from the Ohio Attorney General (awarded annually in October 2023, October 2024, and October 2025). Activity has grown substantially — from two awards in 2022 to twenty-nine each in 2024 and 2025 — driven by recurring state pass-through allocations for human services and infrastructure.
