CAP Plan Review

Additional TANF Funding & Contract Modifications


As announced, the approved FY27 State Budget includes an additional $2,275,000 in TANF funding for our network. We extend our sincere gratitude to VACAP and our local member agencies for their hard work and successful advocacy in securing these resources.


OEO plans to process formal contract modifications this fall, which will incorporate these new funds alongside any allowable carryover into your agency's budget. We are sharing this update now so you can begin preliminary planning and budgeting for the upcoming program year.


Our office will notify you directly when the fall contract modification window opens, at which point you will be asked to submit your formal budget amendments.

Reminder! Annual report not due until November 15!



The 4th quarter report will be due November 15th this year. The report will contain information on 15 months to account for the shift to the federal fiscal year for reporting. The report will contain information from July 1, 2025 - September 30, 2026.
