Revised ACF-700 Tribal Annual Report for Child Care Funding
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice would bring back the ACF-700 Tribal Annual Report with revisions that reduce reporting work for tribal child care grantees. The report collects annual data on how Child Care and Development Fund money is used, including the number of children and families served and information about program quality, safety standards, coordination with other early childhood programs, and accreditation efforts. The main practical change is a lighter form. ACF proposes to cut repetitive narrative questions and remove American Rescue Plan reporting because that data is no longer being collected. Tribal Lead Agencies that receive CCDF funding should review the revised form and may submit comments by August 7, 2026.
