Our Community Our Kids (OCOK), in partnership with the Single Source Continuum Contractors (SSCCs), is announcing the opening of the second Requests for Application (RFA) for provider grants for T3C Readiness, targeting organizations currently awarded the Interim (not Full) Credential(s). The RFA opens September 25 and runs through October 22, 2025 at 5:00 PM CST.

This funding opportunity is for those providers who have an Interim (T3C) Credential, whether Active or Inactive. Specifically, this funding is for organizations who have received their Interim Credential(s) who may or may not have previously received FY 24 or FY 25 T3C grant funding, but still have requirements to fulfill or who may have additional packages for which they intend to apply to be Credentialed in. 

• For organizations who have previously received grant awards in FY 24 and/or FY 25, requests can be made in this opportunity for an amount that would not exceed $200,000 in total T3C readiness grant awards across FY 24, FY 25, and FY 26.
• For organizations who received no grant funding in FY 24 or FY 25, up to $150,000 could be granted for FY 2026. Any application made in this opportunity must be tied directly to an item in pending implementation plans or additional service packages.

For the RFA that opens on September 25, 2025, eligibility requires that organizations: 

• have received at least one Interim Credential(s); 
• have not received any Full Credential(s);
• may or may not have previously received FY 24 or FY 25 T3C readiness grant funding; and
• still have requirements to fulfill, or who may have additional packages for which they intend to apply for a credential.
