Maintaining Accountability in the Stabilization Grant and Subgrants

This brief and self-assessment instrument were developed to guide Lead Agencies as they evaluate their accountability policies and processes for their child care stabilization grant. The combined resources provide accountability strategies and considerations for documentation, reporting, auditing, and compliance related to the stabilization grant and subsequent subgrants. The self-assessment instrument contains two sections for Lead Agencies to use to assess how well their stabilization grant policies and procedures meet regulatory requirements. Each section includes a list of program elements and considerations that agencies may use when reviewing their child care stabilization grant program and the degree to which their reporting, auditing, and monitoring processes may be effective. The brief takes a deeper dive into the self-assessment sections and provides accountability strategy considerations.
