Building grants will fund providers needing developmental work for readiness, to participate in trainings and/or to obtain technical assistance and consultation in readiness activities for T3C. Organizations may seek technical assistance or consultation regarding how to begin to transition their programs to meet T3C requirements including areas such as:

• Changes to policies and procedures consistent with selected primary models and targeted service package(s) the provider will be delivering.
• New targeted and upfront training for intake, case managers, directors, foster parents (if applicable), direct delivery staff (if applicable), etc. on primary models/service packages and CANS 3.0 assessment tool and process.
• IT changes to support operating under the new service array.
• Data collection, tracking, and reporting changes.
• Changes to cost collection to populate a more robust cost report.

Selected organizations will receive up to $20,000 in grant funds. Providers can apply for up to two Readiness Building Grants; however, they must designate a priority application.  Second applications will be considered only after all primary or priority provider applications have been evaluated and only should there be funding remaining to support additional grants. These grant funds must be obligated by December 1, 2024. If funds are not obligated, then they are considered unspent. Any funding that is not obligated for grant purposes must be returned to ACH by this time.
