SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2022–23 GENERAL CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM EXPANSION FUNDS REQUEST FOR APPLICATION, ROUND TWO Dear Hawk Scott
The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), Child Care and Development Division (CDDD), is pleased to inform you that your application received a score of 79 and your agency will be receiving a proposed award amount of $6,718,488.00.
As set forth in the Request for Applications, agencies selected for funding were determined by the following priority order:
1. Allocated Counties
2. Local Child Care and Development Planning Council priority order
3. Highest score order
Please note that this letter is not a contractual agreement, and no award money is final until a contract has been fully executed, which occurs when both parties have signed the contract. Prior to that time, the CDSS has the right to conduct additional due diligence to ensure that the award agency can fulfill all programmatic and fiscal requirements. Upon completion of contract negotiations, your agency will be mailed a contract for your signature. Any costs incurred outside the performance period of a fully executed contract may not be reimbursed. Contracts for subsequent fiscal years (July 1 through June 30, annually) are renewed each spring through a continued funding application process and are subject to CDSS approval.
Please note that the contract process takes time based on when the funding is released to the CDSS following the enactment of the state budget. A Fiscal Analyst will provide technical assistance during the contract process to ensure that your contract is appropriately funded and to advise you on submission of expenditures eligible for reimbursement, based on when you begin operations.
The CDSS looks forward to maintaining an ongoing positive relationship in support of families and children of California.
If you have any questions regarding this subject, please contact the Funding Application Unit at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Lupe Jaime-Mileham, EdD,
Deputy Director
Child Care and Development Division
