Child Care Deserts Grant Update for New and Existing Programs
RFA1 - Application Status
Many programs have inquired about the application status of their Desert Grant applications for new programs. Please note that OCFS is experiencing delays in reviewing the applications. Currently, there is no timeframe detailing when notification of application approvals will be sent.
RFA2 - Application Portal
OCFS is experiencing delays in launching the application portal for existing programs. The new application launch date is July 18, 2022.
The Council is aware of these delays. We await guidance from OCFS on timeframes and will make the dates available as soon as we are made aware.
