This grant, offered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) via the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), aims to increase the availability, affordability, and quality of child care programs in underserved Native Hawaiian, American Indian, and Alaska Native communities. Up to two grants are available: one for Native Hawaiian youth and one for Native Hawaiian and/or American Indian/Alaska Native youth from Federally recognized Indian Tribes. This grant is for providing child care services to eligible children under 13, whose families meet income thresholds (up to 85% State/Tribal Median Income) and whose parents are working, attending training/education, or requiring protective services. While construction is allowable with separate approval, the grants primarily support direct program operations. Grantees must comply with CCDF Tribal program requirements (45 CFR Parts 98 and 99).

| Description: | This funding opportunity provides funds from the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) to increase the availability, affordability, and quality of child care programs in geographic areas/localities, which have been previously underserved and/or have unmet needs. Funding is available for up to two child care program grants: one serving Native Hawaiian youth; and one serving Native Hawaiian and/or American Indian/ Alaska Native youth from Federally recognized Indian Tribes. The funding will support child care services to eligible children, which must be under the age of 13 and reside with a family whose income does not exceed 85 percent of the State Median Income (or Tribal Median Income) for a family of the same size and whose parent(s) are working or attending a job training or educational program or who receive or need to receive protective services. Although construction/major renovation of child care facilities is allowable, these grants are designed to operate child care programs. Applicants must reserve adequate funds to provide direct child care services in each budget year and demonstrate the funds requested are reasonable in regard to the number of eligible children to be served. However, grant funds cannot be spent for construction/ major renovation until a grantee has applied for and received approval from HHS, through a separate application process, after it has been awarded a grant under this funding opportunity.To assist with preparing an application, applicants should review the CCDF Tribal Plan Preprint (TPP). The TPP is available at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/occ/resource/program-instructions. Applicants receiving grants under this funding opportunity are required to comply with the same requirements as grantees receiving Tribal formula grants under the CCDF program. Unless otherwise indicated, the regulations at 45 CFR Parts 98 and 99 will apply. Applicants must include a statement that it will comply with the applicable list of assurances found in 45 CFR § 98.15. |
