FY27 CFCE Narrative Questions Amendment.docx

This is a narrative response amendment document for the FY2027 Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) Grant administered by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Early Care and Education (EEC) for service delivery in Arlington and Lexington. The grant seeks qualified organizations to provide coordinated family and community engagement services supporting early childhood education and family engagement in these Massachusetts communities. Applicants must respond to five narrative questions addressing organizational experience in family and early childhood engagement, proposed implementation of required grant services, staff qualification and training plans, family outreach strategies including approaches for hard-to-reach populations, and Local Advisory Council recruitment methods including parent participation. All narrative responses must be double-spaced in 12-point font and not exceed 250 words per question. The submission package requires applicants to include a lead agency organizational chart, a CFCE program organizational chart if different from the lead agency structure, a resume or job description for the CFCE Coordinator position, a completed Local Advisory Council Form, and a calendar of activities designed by the applicant.

The document specifies formatting and organizational documentation requirements but does not detail pricing terms, funding amounts, contract duration, award dates, or other financial information. No information regarding set-asides, incumbent contractors, response deadlines, or site visit requirements is provided in this narrative amendment document. This appears to be a component of a larger competitive grant procurement for which applicants must demonstrate organizational capacity, program planning, and community engagement capabilities to secure CFCE grant funding for the specified Massachusetts municipalities.
