Title 42 › CHAPTER 67 — CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT AND ADOPTION REFORM › SUBCHAPTER III — COMMUNITY-BASED GRANTS FOR THE PREVENTION OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT › § 5116b
The Secretary must set aside 1 percent of the money Congress provides under section 5116i each year for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs. The rest is split so 70 percent is shared among States based on each State’s share of children under 18 nationwide (but no State gets less than $175,000), and 30 percent is shared based on how much non‑Federal money (private, State, or other) each State routed through its designated State lead entity in the prior fiscal year. The Secretary must give the money to the State lead entity. Money given to a State is meant to cover a three‑year period and the Secretary pays it out each year as described above.
