The CCPO received approximately $6.4 million<br \/>\n    from the CARES Act through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) dedicated specifically for child care assistance, which along with $2.6<br \/>\n    million in State of Alaska CARES Act funds has already been disbursed to providers to cover March 2020 expenses. At this time there are no additional<br \/>\n    dedicated federal dollars available to assist with capacity building.<\/p>\n<p>However, through other State of Alaska CARES Act funding, the CCPO has been allotted an additional $10.5 million to be distributed to offset a portion<br \/>\n    of lost revenue for the months of April and May for children who are not eligible for child care assistance. The $10.5 million is for April and May<br \/>\n    together, not for each month.<\/p>\n<p>To distribute this amount as equitably as possible for children who are not eligible for child care assistance, the CCPO will pay providers according to<br \/>\n    the following plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The CCPO will pay providers for the private pay sources of revenue loss they have experienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, using a provider\u2019s<br \/>\n        license capacity multiplied by a flat rate.<\/li>\n<li>If a provider was open at any time during the month of April and\/or May, the flat rate per child will be $400. If a provider was closed for the entire<br \/>\n        month of April and\/or May, the flat rate per child will be $200, regardless of attendance.<\/li>\n<li>The child care assistance funds that providers are currently eligible for will continue to be paid going forward.<\/li>\n<li>All licensed providers will receive a payment based on their licensed capacity for April and May. There is no need for any additional documentation<br \/>\n        to be submitted to the CCPO office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using this methodology will allow the CCPO to process April and May payments more quickly because the methodology can be applied to the information providers<br \/>\n    have already submitted in their Requests for Payment.<\/p>\n<p>This is one-time funding using State of Alaska CARES dollars. The CCPO has issued 100% of federal capacity grants from the Administration for Children<br \/>\n    and Families (ACF) and does not anticipate any additional payments to assist in capacity building. The CCPO recognizes that many businesses are starting<br \/>\n    to re-open or operate back at their full license capacity. In addition to these additional capacity dollars, providers are encouraged to apply for<br \/>\n    relief funds through your local municipalities, non-profit relief through the Alaska Community Foundation, and through the AK CARES grant program.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/docs\/DHSS_PressRelease_CCPOFunding_20200618.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the press release<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have questions, please contact the CCPO at <a href=\"\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" class=\"__cf_email__\" data-cfemail=\"503333203f10313c31233b317e373f267e\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a><br \/>\n     <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","news_tags":[],"event_category":[],"news_categories":[],"class_list":["post-37279","thread-blog","type-thread-blog","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>State of Alaska Announces Additional Funding for Child Care Programs - Thread<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threadalaska.org\/thread-blog\/state-of-alaska-announces-additional-funding-for-child-care-programs-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"State of Alaska Announces Additional Funding for Child Care Programs - Thread\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Traducci\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola Broadcast from the CCPO on 6\/19\/20 The Child Care Program Office (CCPO) is providing this update to the broadcasts issued on April 8, 2020, and April 13, 2020,...
