Florence Gray Community Learning Center

Learn365

Based on questions and feedback from several municipalities involved in the ARPA Capital Projects Fund Community Learning Centers (CLC) municipal grant, the Rhode Island Pandemic Recovery Office is providing the following guidance to clarify the CPF grants and distinguish the CLC grant from the Learn365RI grant.

Compliance, Process & Timeline

The Pandemic Recovery Office (PRO) at the State of Rhode Island launched the application process for the CPF Community Learning Centers (CLC) Municipal Grant on August 7, 2023. Stage 1 of the application process ended on August 15 th and 34 municipalities completed this stage and thereby secured their formula-based allocation of the grant funds. PRO then
conducted one-on-one conversations with all applicants and provided guidance on next steps. Stage 2 opened on September 5, 2023, with an extended due date of October 13, 2023.

Treasury Requirements

CPF reporting templates from U.S. Treasury and their ongoing review of the grant program indicate a high level of scrutiny and oversight on compliance issues.
Treasury guidance is dynamic and evolving constantly so please be sure to attend all information sessions and stay in close contact with the PRO team.
