Good afternoon,
Please enjoy this month's edition of the Grants Management Newsletter, where we highlight the latest advancements across the state utilizing ARPA dollars.
We are excited to announce a new feature you'll see on the ARPA website. The ARPA Program Tracker dashboard is intended to give further insight to citizens and the Legislature to keep up with the latest advancements we are making together on all of the ARPA projects. Be sure to check this out and let us know if you see anything that needs to be adjusted.
Also be sure to check out our latest article highlighting the University Hospitals Authority and Trust (UHAT), who recently broke ground on a new children's behavioral health center and completed a successful third-party audit with zero findings.
Don't miss the latest GMO guidance and helpful templates on our Subrecipient Support webpage.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to use these funds to support Oklahomans. If you ever have any questions, please contact me or my team for assistance.
Sincerely,
Caden Cleveland
Director of Public Affairs and Grants Management,
Office of Management and Services
