Summary
*The CCFRF is not a grant program*
The CCFRF includes the State's lease-purchase program for relocatable child care facilities as well as the California Renovation and Repair Loan (CRRL) program. All funds advanced from the CCFRF must be repaid by the contracting agency over a period no longer than ten years, with no interest. In accordance with EC 8278.3, funding is limited to only existing contracting agencies that provide CDE-subsidized child care program services. These include the following ELCD administered programs: (1) General Child Care and Development; (2) California State Preschool; (3) Migrant Child Care and Development; (4) Child Care and Development Services for Children with Exceptional Needs; and (5) California School Age Families Education.
History of Funding
The 2017-18 annual report is available here: https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cd/op/lrlegrpt2018ccfrf.asp
Additional Information
Approved CCFRF General Facilities loan applications are funded in two phases: (1) the initial funding at 60 percent and (2) the final funding at 40 percent (based on project costs or up to the contract's maximum allowance, whichever is less). CCFRF General Facilities loan contracting agencies begin making lease repayments to the CDE 180 days after the final funding has been released. Payments are amortized over ten years without interest. Upon full repayment, facility title transfers from the State of California to the CCFRF contracting agencies.
With the CRRL program, the amount that child care agencies may apply for is determined by the contractor's existing maximum reimbursable amount. Eligible program costs include but are not limited to ADA accessibility signs, children's bathroom lavatories, fixtures, or controls, and cushioned areas around and under play equipment.
Approved CRRL applications are funded in three phases: (1) the initial funding at 60 percent, (2) the second funding at 30 percent and (3) the final funding at 10 percent (based on project costs or up to the contract's maximum allowance, whichever is less). CRRL repayment period will vary based on the total loan amount. Loans will be repaid on a monthly schedule, unless otherwise determined by the CDE. The loan repayment period will begin one year from the start date of the contract.
