Child Care and Development Fund (Tribal lead agencies)
Child care and early learning · U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Office of Child Care)
What it is
Families with low incomes who need help paying for child care. Tribal lead agencies use this federal money for their own child care programs.
How to apply
Ask your Nation's child care office if it runs a child care assistance program and how to sign up. Each Tribal lead agency describes its own program in a plan, so steps can differ from one Nation to the next. Rules and amounts change, so check with the office.
