What is the timeline and process for the ERS grants?
The application packet for the ERS grants will be available in July. The Quality department will facilitate a meeting with providers in the four counties to discuss the forms. All ERS assessments and grants will be done by first half of the fiscal year. Providers will be given two weeks to submit the grant application after the ERS has been completed. Deadlines will be clearly noted on the application form- the form itself has been designed to be very user friendly and mirrors the ELCFH improvement plan. Quality staff will review the applications to ensure there is alignment with the ERS and to ensure the provider request is developmentally appropriate. Once approved, the ELCFH will purchase the materials for the provider.
