PSP Addendum 2 - Eastern Oregon Community Based Service Hub_Final.pdf

This document is Addendum 2 to the Request for Grant Applications (RFA) issued by the State of Oregon's Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) for the reallocation and waitlist management of Preschool Promise (PSP) slots in the Eastern Oregon Community Based Services Hub region. The addendum modifies the RFA schedule, extending the application deadline to June 17, 2024, and the anticipated award announcement to June 25, 2024. The RFA seeks applications from new and existing eligible PSP providers to obtain or increase their current allocation of PSP spaces for the 2024-2025 program year. Eligible applicants will be evaluated based on a community needs assessment scoring process that prioritizes certain zip codes, setting types, and primary languages of instruction. The program is open to certified child care centers, certified family child care providers, early learning hubs, and other child care providers, with 16 PSP slots available for reallocation. Successful applicants will be placed on a waitlist, with slots awarded as they become available during the program year at the agency's discretion. The base award per slot is $15,650 per year, with additional funding available for transportation and one-time new slot costs.
