Priority Considerations
Grant applications focused on capital improvement
projects, systems, and program expansion opportunities for
facilities/organizations that provide health, education, and early childhood
resources to Kansas communities (ex: learning centers, family resource centers,
children’s museums, health initiatives etc.) The following will be taken
into special consideration when reviewing the grant applications:
- Priority will be given to
shovel-ready projects that support communities with significant health,
education and early childhood resource needs.
- Applicants that have
existing or established program or resources that will be amplified or
increase capacity as a result of receiving a capital improvement award
through this RFP.
- Applicants that
demonstrate through the capital improvement award that development and
enhancement of programs focused on improving youth literacy and high
school graduation rates in Kansas to recover from negative impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
- Provide sufficient program
resources for implementation and sustainability of
programs. These programs and resources for the programs must be
connected to expanded capacity resulting from construction, renovation
and/or remodeling of multi-purpose facilities intended to jointly and
directly enable work, education, and health monitoring for families in
Kansas communities and increase access to these services.
- Applicants that
demonstrate through the capital improvement award the facilities or
system network will provide a coordinated care network that connects
clinical healthcare and social care to address issues of housing, hunger,
unemployment, social isolation and transportation.
