Question

Suppose your state is to receive increased federal funding for a program to provide day care for the children of some working parents. would this funding likely come as a categorical grant, a block grant, or a project grant. why?

Answer 1

It would most likely come as a categorical grant.
Categorical grants are the type of grants that could only be used for specific purposes (Including education, health, child development, etc)
Block grants are used for wide variety of services (not tied to one) and project grants are given to fund researchers to conduct Government-owned studies.
