A: Information for Applicants

The Pennsylvania Department of Health Long Term Care Transformation Office is accepting

applications for the Long-Term Care Quality Investment Program grant program. This initiative

is designed to be expanded over time and to support long-term system improvements and

alignment with value-based care across the Commonwealth.

Through this program, fixed awards will be provided to long-term care facilities who qualify.

These awards are intended to improve resident and staff well-being, strengthen facilities’ ability

to manage operations, participate in value-based care programming and build resilience for the

future.

The Quality Investment Program will distribute approximately $12 million in funding to Skilled

Nursing Facilities (SNFs), Personal Care Homes (PCHs), Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs)

and Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs), that meet specific criteria. These funds must be

invested in key areas including workforce development and infrastructure enhancements within

the allowable program tracks.

The anticipated initial period of performance under the resulting grant agreement(s) is January 1,

2027 to September 30, 2027, subject to the availability of funding. If the anticipated period of

performance start date is changed by the Department for the resulting grant agreement, the initial

period of performance is expected to remain a total of nine-twelve months, subject to the

availability of funding. The Department expects to initially award between 48-100 agreements

from this RFA, however this number is subject to change.

At the Department’s discretion and by letter notice, the Department may extend the resulting

Grant Agreement as follows:

Period of Performance. The Department may extend the initial period of performance, or

award subsequent periods of performance, or both.

Extension. Upon notice to the Grantee, the Department may extend the term for up to 90

days by providing written notice of extension to the Grantee without the need to amend the

agreement. Any extension of the term in excess of 90 days must be accomplished through a

formal amendment to the agreement.

Applications are welcomed from SNFs, PCHs, ALFs, and ICFs (defined above).

Additional information about how to apply, relevant and specific restrictions, and stated

preferences regarding applicants are noted and outlined in Section B. Facilities may apply

only if they meet all requirements below:

• Are registered as an active Commonwealth vendor within SAP prior to application

submission. Applicants may enroll at https://www.pa.gov/services/budget/1_1_3-

toll free at 1-877-435-7363 or locally at 717-346-2676. It may take up to four

weeks to obtain an SAP vendor number. If a vendor has previously done business

with the Commonwealth but has not used the number within the past five years, it

may take up to four weeks to verify the account is active and not flagged and can

be used. Applicants can check the status of their vendor registration here:

Supplier/Vendor Number Lookup Tool | Office of the Budget | Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania by entering the business name or Supplier ID (SAP Number).
