How can applicants prepare?

Watch the 2025 RFP Overview On-Demand Webinar


Provision of Core CAC Services applicants must be able to: 

  • INCREASED CAPACITY: demonstrate that the number of cases/services needed exceed current financial supports and thus would not be delivered by the CAC if funding is not received.
  • FUNDING LOSS: adequately demonstrate the funding loss that threatens the ability to maintain and thus meet the current described core service need

This requires:

  • INCREASED CAPACITY: Documentation may include: 
    • verifiable data demonstrating the number of cases/services have increased based on prior years, and 
    • annual budget/financial statements demonstrating the lack of increase in funding to support the increase in cases/services.
  • FUNDING LOSS: Documentation may include:
    •  annual budget/financial statements demonstrating critical financial loss, or 
    • notification of funding reduction from other funding agencies
