Child Care and Development Block Grant in Alabama

What the 93.575–Alabama join is

CFDA 93.575 is titled CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. Filtered to Alabama place of performance, obligations sum to $1,627,667,187 on 20 awards. The national CCDBG hub has no Alabama filter. The Alabama spending hub has no CFDA filter. This tie is the intersection. $1,627,667,187 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of subsidized children in Birmingham or Montgomery.

Twenty awards is a concentrated block-grant pattern: a state typically receives a modest number of large assistance awards and then allocates to providers. The join does not name the Alabama Department of Human Resources, list counties, or count subsidized children. Packet facts stop at $1,627,667,187, 20 awards, AL, and 93.575.

93.575 is not Head Start in Alabama

Head Start (CFDA 93.600) and CCDF mandatory matching funds (CFDA 93.596) are different catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $1,627,667,187 would invent a broader early-care total than this cell contains. Facts available: Alabama, CFDA 93.575, $1,627,667,187, 20 awards. Copays, quality ratings, and Black Belt provider lists are not in the facts.

The catalog title names the Child Care and Development Block Grant, not a ranking of county wait lists. Dividing $1,627,667,187 by 20 yields about $81.38 million per award—a block-grant silhouette of few instruments and large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. 20 is not a count of providers.
