The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to inform social services districts of their allocations and maintenance of effort (MOE) levels for the New York State Child Care Block Grant (NYSCCBG) subsidy program for the period April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007, and to explain the allowable uses for these federal and State funds. The NYSCCBG allocation to districts for the period April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007, State fiscal year (SFY) 2006-07, is $352,820,629. Districts should note that these allocations are identical to the preliminary allocations shared with districts in a letter from Deputy Commissioner Susan A. Costello dated February 22, 2006. This LCM also reinforces the importance of evaluating the district’s overall child care subsidy needs in determining transfer levels from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) included in the New York State Child Care Block Grant (NYSCCBG).
