All State and Territory grantees are required to submit a biennial Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plan (ACF-118) that functions as the Lead Agency’s application for CCDF funds. The Plan provides a description of the child care program and the services that will be made available to eligible families. It serves as the agreement between the Lead Agency and the Federal Government as to how CCDF programs will be administered in conformance with legislative requirements, pertinent Federal regulations, and other instructions and guidelines issued by ACF.
