The Honorable Betty Rosa
Commissioner
New York State Education Department
89 Washington Avenue
Albany, NY 12234
Dear Commissioner Rosa:
I write in response to New York State Education Department’s (NYSED’s) request for additional time to
liquidate obligations for the American Rescue Plan Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY) program,
grant award S425W210033. Specifically, New York’s December 2, 2024, liquidation extension request
specifies the need for additional time to liquidate $1,741,854.00 of ARP-HCY funds after the period of
liquidation under 2 C.F.R. § 200.344(b) expired. After careful review, I have determined that New York’s
request provides sufficient justification and documentation for an extension to the period of liquidation
for ARP-HCY funds.
I am approving continued access to this grant through March 28, 2026. This approval is given with the
condition that the funds drawn down in the G5 system from grant award S425W210033 be used only to
liquidate obligations incurred by September 30, 2024, and support costs that were allowable under laws
and regulations in effect during the program period. Any drawdowns during this extension period require
approval from the U.S. Department of Education’s (Department’s) program office. New York must email
the Department’s Office of Homeless Education through the program mailbox at HomelessEd@ed.gov,
detailing the amount of State-level and subrecipient-level funds approved for late liquidation that the State
requests to draw down.
Thank you for your work to implement the ARP-HCY program, including this request to help ensure that
all possible resources are available to meet the education-related support needs of children and youth
experiencing homelessness in New York. If you have any questions about this approval, please contact
the Department at HomelessEd@ed.gov.
Sincerely,
Adam Schott
