The initial comment period for ROMA Next Generation will be held from March 3, 2016 - April 1, 2016. NASCSP will host a webinar series throughout the initial comment period to support your review. The webinar series will include recorded webinars available throughout the comment period, live kick-off webinars, and additional live subject specific webinars. Webinars will be presented by staff from NASCSP, OCS, and the CAP. All live webinars are on a first come first serve basis and will be available on the NASCSP website as recorded webinars after completion.

It is important that CAA staff, State CSBG office staff and CAA State Association staff all engage in the review process and provide robust and thoughtful comments.  We are counting on all members of the Network to help enhance and improve the proposed ROMA Next Generation material.

Your review of these components of ROMA Next Generation is essential as we move forward. NASCSP will make changes to ROMA Next Generation documents, tools and reports based on the Network's feedback and to prepare for submission to OCS for the OMB Clearance Process. Detailed and specific comments are especially critical at the early stages of the process to ensure that the documents are as strong as possible and allow us to showcase the work of community action at all levels of the network. We look forward to hearing your feedback throughout this process.
