Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACF OCC YN 0091
The American Indian and Native Hawaiian Non-Profit Organization Child Care Grant is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Care (OCC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have an active role in guiding or supporting the project during the award period rather than simply issuing funds with minimal involvement. The program sits within the Income Security and Social Services activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.575.
The main goal of this grant is to expand access to child care for American Indian and/or Native Hawaiian children who are not currently being served by child care funded through other Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) formula grantees. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at filling service gaps in communities where eligible families either cannot access CCDF-supported care or live in areas not covered by existing CCDF formula awards. The notice also clarifies that there is a separate Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) specifically for awarding a grant to a Native Hawaiian non-profit organization, and applicants should pay attention to which NOFO aligns with their organization and proposed service area.
The grant supports child care services for eligible children under age 13. Eligibility is tied to both income and family need: the child must live 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). In addition, the child must have a parent or parents who are working, participating in a job training program, or enrolled in an educational program. The program also recognizes protective services needs as a pathway to eligibility, covering children who receive protective services or who need to receive protective services, reflecting an intent to prioritize child safety and family stability alongside workforce participation.
Applicants must fit within the eligible applicant categories listed in the opportunity. These include Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an “Others” category with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, which typically means there may be specific allowable entity types or conditions that need to be verified in the official NOFO language.
There are important restrictions designed to prevent duplication of funding in the same geographic or service area. If an American Indian organization already receives CCDF funding directly from OCC, it cannot receive funding under this NOFO to provide the same services in the same service area. The opportunity also notes that an otherwise eligible applicant may apply under both this NOFO and the separate Native Hawaiian NOFO, but even if they apply to both, they can only receive one award. This is meant to ensure funds are spread strategically and do not overlap for the same applicant across parallel competitions.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipates making one award. That combination suggests a highly competitive process with a single selected project expected to cover a defined service area and deliver measurable child care access outcomes. The opportunity number is HHS-2022-ACF-OCC-YN-0091, and the posting indicates it was created on April 25, 2022, with an original closing date of May 19, 2022. Applications had to be submitted electronically by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the due date, reinforcing the importance of timely submission through the designated federal grants portal and compliance with all formatting and documentation requirements.
Overall, this grant is designed to increase the availability of child care for underserved American Indian and Native Hawaiian families by supporting direct service delivery to eligible children, using income thresholds and parental activity requirements consistent with CCDF policy, while avoiding duplication in areas already funded through direct OCC CCDF awards.Apply for HHS 2022 ACF OCC YN 0091
