title
Request by the Department of Economic Equity and Opportunity for approval to accept an amendment to an agreement with the Health Federation of Philadelphia to extend the grant end date to May 31, 2025 for the Home Grown: Building Comprehensive Networks (Year 1) project.
end
Background and Discussion:
Home Grown: Building Comprehensive Networks focuses on building effective, comprehensive networks at the state- and local-level that support the operations of child care providers, with particular focus on home-based and Friend, Family, & Neighbor providers. Harris County utilized the Year 1 Implementation award of $100,000 to support efforts for the Early Learning Quality Network (ELQN) program. The ELQN Network Support Hub and four Local Network Organizations used funding to strategically promote ELQN to targeted communities, support the work of community-based advisory committees, and enhance community engagement events for families, child care providers, and other community stakeholders.
Expected Impact:
The amendment will ensure that the Year 1 Grant funds are fully spent down in support of ELQN community engagement and communication efforts.
Alternative Options: Harris County can reject the amendment and the remaining Year 1 funds will not be spent.
