AST CCDF Child Care Subsidy
The CCDF Subsidy program allows Native American parents the opportunity to seek quality child care while they are employed full-time or attending school up to a bachelors degree in a full-time program with the goal of full-time employment. For FY 2015, we had 32 children from 20 families who received child care assistance through the subsidy portion of the CCDF grant. Of those, 17 are AST Children and 6 families have a family member who is employed with the AST or one of its enterprises. The purpose of this program is to maintain compliance with the CCDF guidelines and ensure the proper use of funds.
Through our Building Blocks centers we are able to provide the best quality of care they would get at a larger city center. We follow all of the guidelines of the state so Native American families can use the assistance from the state as well. And for those that do not qualify we also provide Tribal Subsidy to certain applicants. We try to approve as many applicants as possible but we only have a limited amount of funds to use for the subsidy portion. But with the new center we will be able to take the funds we are paying out to other providers back toward our center and enrich our program even more.
