Description:
The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) Act Reauthorization provided opportunities to offer flexibility to Tribes in certain areas where there are unique needs. To best identify how the Act should apply to Tribes, the Office of Child Care (OCC) conducted a series of tribal consultations to solicit tribal input. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) addresses the extent to which certain provisions should apply to Tribal CCDF grantees. They are intended to increase tribal flexibility, while balancing the CCDF dual goals of promoting families' financial stability and fostering healthy child development. OCC will work with Tribes as they work to implement the proposed rule and will continue to seek comments from Tribes. Below is an overview of how the NPRM will affect Tribal CCDF programs. The following overview is intended to provide a summary of key points. (author abstract)
