South Coast Regional ELH- Addendum 1 - PSP__SPAN.pdf

This document is an addendum to a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) for the Preschool Promise (PSP) Reallocation and Waitlist for the South Coast Regional Early Learning Hub. The addendum modifies the original RFA in the areas of insurance requirements for automobile liability coverage for programs that do not transport children. Specifically, it reduces the minimum combined single limit requirement from $1,000,000 to $1,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage. It also clarifies that personal automobile insurance policies with a commercial use endorsement may be acceptable.

The RFA is seeking applications from eligible child care centers, family child care providers, and other early learning organizations to either increase their existing PSP slot allocation or be awarded PSP slots as a new grantee. Successful applicants may be immediately awarded slots or placed on a waitlist to be considered for slots that become available before June 30, 2025. The initial grant term is 1 year with options to renew. Grant amounts are based on the number of slots awarded, with a base amount of $15,650 per slot per year and a transportation enhancement of $1,100 per slot per year. Eligible applicants must meet detailed program requirements, including serving families at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, meeting quality standards, and implementing inclusionary practices.
