SFSP Application Addendum - Recruitment Strategies

SFSP Application Addendum - Recruitment Strategies

In September 2022, USDA published a Final Rule that added specific SFSP performance standards for Viability, Capability, and Accountability (VCA). While the TX-UNPS Application’s VCA checklist captures most of the information TDA requires to ensure VCA of new and returning Contracting Entities (CEs), it does not capture a CE’s recruitment strategies, which is a required element to establish viability.

Because this addition to the VCA checklist will not be available before applications open January 15, 2023, TDA is requesting that ALL CEs, both new and returning, submit their SFSP recruitment strategies via this form so that TDA can capture this required information in compliance with federal regulation.

All CEs must complete this form before their new or renewing applications will be approved for Summer 2023.

1. Contracting Entity (CE) Name (as displayed in TX-UNPS application):*

2. 5-digit CE Identification (ID):*

3. Please select the methods of outreach you will use to attract potential SFSP serving sites in Summer 2023 (check all that apply):*
