What the grant funds

The Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC) is publishing this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to solicit applications for grants under the FY 2025 Childcare Access and Nutrition Systems (CANS) Grant Program. This program is being conducted in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD), through the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBCS). The NOFA provides an overview of the CANS Grant Program and outlines specific requirements needed to complete the application process. Access to the application and additional information can be found on scrc.gov. Important Dates Full Application Portal Opens ……………. November 1, 2024 Letter of Interest (LOI) Due.................. Prior to Full Application Submission Full Application Due Date ………………….. December 4, 2024 SCRC Notification of Awards ……………. December 13, 2024 Anticipated Project Start Date ............ January 6, 2025 Funding Overview The Childcare Access and Nutrition Systems (CANS) Grant Program is funded through a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD) and the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC). USDA Rural Business Cooperative Service provided the funding to SCRC to advance regional food and childcare systems in the distressed-identified rural counties of Dougherty and Upson, Georgia. The SCRC geographic area stretches from the Tidewater part of eastern Virginia southward through the Carolinas along Interstate 95, west through Georgia and lower Alabama, and northwesterly to the Mississippi Delta. According to a recent Wallet Hub economic study, Georgia is the sixth most financially distressed state in the country and has the ninth most people with accounts in distress and the 10th highest average number of accounts in distress across the United States. Georgia’s Southeast Crescent region is mostly rural, offering natural beauty, a distinct cultural heritage and relative proximity to metropolitan Atlanta, which is the leading economic driver of the state. While most counties in Georgia are economically distressed, the changing demographics of the region, ranging from high-growth areas to those that are losing population, require special interventions and policies to help close the region’s development and economic growth gap.
