Choosing an Application Path
Family child care providers can choose to apply to be directly contracted with Multnomah County or can choose to apply to be subcontracted through the intermediary organization, MESO (Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon). PFA Providers that are subcontracted through MESO get extra small business support from MESO.
MESO can offer support to providers by focusing on small business health and development, like:
- How to plan a budget
- How to buy and keep the right insurance
- How to keep good business records
- How to hire and manage staff
- How to grow your business
You must apply through the Multnomah County’s procurement process (RFPQ) and be directly contracted with the County if you have any center programs (even if you are applying just for an FCC site).
If you are a center or want to apply to be directly contracted with Multnomah County, please apply through the RFPQ application process.
