Program Information

Popular name

Child Care Disaster Funds

Program Number

93.489

Program objective

Hurricanes Fiona and Ian were powerful storms that impacted several states, Tribal Nations with in those states, and Puerto Rico. In response, Congress provided $100 million in supplemental Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) funding for those jurisdictions to address the impacts of the hurricanes on child care programs and services. The funds will be awarded in two phases. In phase one, $10 million was awarded in FY 2023 for eligible CCDF lead agencies to undertake a process of planning for implementation of activities. In phase two, $88 million was awarded in FY 2024 for implementation of disaster recovery plans developed in phase one, which could include construction and renovation of child care facilities and the purchase of existing facilities in areas impacted by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. ACF shall not retain Federal interest after a period of 10 years in any facility renovated, repaired, or rebuilt with these funds. Federal interest provisions do not apply to the renovation or rebuilding of privately-owned family child care homes. In addition, to funding available for lead agencies, $2 million was reserved for federal administration and assistance.
