					<description><![CDATA[Offered by PARTNERS for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics and the Georgia School-Based Health Alliance, Inc. (GASBHA) According to the 2021 KIDS COUNT Data Book, a study on the well-being of America’s children, Georgia ranks 38th in the nation in child well-being and 37th in education nationally. Georgia ranks in the bottom 20% in five categories: -children in poverty, -high-school students not graduating on time, -teens not attending school and not working, -low birthweight babies, and -children in families where the household head lacks a high school diploma. In addition, more than 197,000 of Georgia’s children are uninsured and, as a result, do not have a medical home and have very limited access to routine health care. The goals of the Comprehensive School-Based Health Center Program are to: increase access to quality health care (physical, behavioral, oral), improve the delivery of health services, and improve the overall health of the children of Georgia; improve the academic achievement of Georgia’s children through increased school attendance; facilitate the expansion of school-based health centers throughout the state; and establish a state alliance for school-based health centers—Georgia School-Based Health Alliance (GASBHA). By expanding school-based health center services, Georgia’s children will benefit from improved access to primary health care, improved health outcomes, and improved school attendance. The state will benefit from reduced costs to the Medicaid system through the reduction in inappropriate emergency-room visits; hospitalizations for chronic illnesses, like asthma, and diabetes; and transportation costs. Purpose This request for proposals is meant to stimulate planning and facilitate collaboration and community discussion to expand the number of school-based health centers in Georgia. Note:   PARTNERS for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health (PARTNERS) and the Georgia Department of Education Office of Whole Child Supports will provide technical assistance throughout the planning process as needed and requested. Award Amount:   Up to $10,000 Project Period: 12 months Timetable July 29, 2022 Proposal deadline: Submit proposals to PARTNERS for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health, Department of Pediatrics, Emory University. Deadline via e-mail is 5 p.m. Send the email proposal to daholt@emory.edu . Via U.S. mail, proposal must be postmarked no later than July 29, 2022 .

					<description><![CDATA[The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) announces another Trauma Responsive Care Grant funding cycle for community-based organizations across Georgia. These grants of $10,000 each will enable local organizations to pilot or expand programs that increase community understanding of how early childhood trauma can impact future learning and development of children. The grants will also assist communities in building effective networks of leaders focused on identifying and understanding the needs of children in their communities who may have had adverse childhood experiences. Selected grantees will be expected to develop a cross-sector collaborative of local leaders, including six to ten community stakeholders from various organizations such as the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), local law enforcement, Georgia Family Connection Collaboratives, Georgia’s Pre-K programs, Head Start programs, local child care programs, local school systems, local Community Service Boards (CSBs), and Resilient Georgia Regional Grantee Coalitions. Each collaborative will participate in training to support a collective understanding of how early childhood trauma can impact children’s future learning and development. Additionally, grantee organizations and their partners will be expected to develop a strategic plan to respond to the needs of children experiencing trauma for the birth to 5 population. Grantees also will be expected to disseminate local resources and materials related to trauma-focused strategies and interventions to families, childcare providers, schools, and other service providers. This is the second year that DECAL has made these opportunities available to communities across Georgia. Funding for the grants was made possible by the $11.2 million Preschool Development Renewal Grant that Georgia received in January 2020 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education. “We look forward to utilizing this federal funding to supplement our ongoing efforts to increase access for Georgia’s youngest learners and their caregivers to these important resources,” said DECAL Commissioner Amy M. Jacobs. “Through these grants, we will support communities in developing holistic strategies to improve child well-being and mental health.” The grant term for the upcoming funding cycle runs from August 15, 2022 until August 14, 2023. The 2022 Trauma Responsive Care Grant application is posted on the DECAL website at https://decal.smapply.us/prog/trauma-responsive_care_grants/. Questions related to the application should be directed to communityimpactgrants@decal.ga.gov. Applications must be submitted by June 15, 2022. About DECAL The Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) is responsible for meeting the child care and early education needs of Georgia’s children and their families.

					<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, DC (WWAY) – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the award of more than $57 million in grants to organizations that help veterans experiencing homelessness find meaningful employment and assist them in overcoming barriers to transition back successfully into the workforce. Ending homelessness among veterans is a priority for the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, which is chaired by U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge and vice-chaired by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough. Upholding our sacred obligation to our veterans is also a key part of the Unity Agenda President Biden laid out in his State of the Union address. “The pandemic further exposed the difficulties faced by our nation’s homeless veterans,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. “The Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program grants announced today will fund initiatives that help our veterans – particularly those in underserved communities – get the training and support they need return to the workforce and use their skills to make valuable contributions to our society.” Administered by the department’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service , HVRP funding will support 112 continuation grants totaling more than $37 million, and fund 56 new three-year grants totaling more than $20 million. These awards will enable recipients to provide a wide range of services to homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness. The HVRP awards grants on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies and nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and faith-based and community organizations. Through the services provided, veterans experiencing homelessness may learn occupational skills, attain apprenticeships or on-the-job training opportunities, and receive job search and placement assistance.

					<description><![CDATA[The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced on February 28 that the national Housing Trust Fund (HTF) and the Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) will receive a total of $1.138 billion for affordable housing – the largest amount ever – from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) in 2022. Of this amount, the HTF will receive $740 million, as NLIHC previously estimated (see Memo, 2/22). “Ensuring adequate funding for the national Housing Trust Fund is one of NLIHC’s top priorities,” said NLIHC President and CEO Diane Yentel. “The funding allocated by the Enterprises for the HTF will help produce, preserve, and operate homes affordable to people with the lowest incomes, including families, seniors, people with disabilities, and others.” Created through the “Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008” (HERA) and overseen by HUD’s Office of Affordable Housing Programs (OAHP) within the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD), the HTF allocates funding annually to states to build, preserve, rehabilitate, and operate rental housing for extremely low-income households (ELI) – those with incomes less than 30% of the area median income (AMI) or with incomes less than the federal poverty line. Nationally, there is a shortage of 7 million rental homes affordable and available to people with the lowest incomes. HERA stipulated that the initial dedicated source of revenue for the HTF and the CMF was to derive from an annual set-aside of 4.2 basis points (0.042%) for each dollar of the unpaid principal on the Enterprises’ new business purchases, which consist of single-family and multifamily mortgage loans purchased during the year, and single-family and multifamily mortgage loans underlying mortgage-backed securities issued during the year. Funds from the HTF are awarded as block grants to states and distributed by a statutory formula based on four factors that consider renter household needs only. Seventy-five percent of the value of the formula goes to two factors that reflect the needs of ELI renters. The other two factors relate to the renter needs of very low-income households – households with incomes between 31% and 50% of AMI. A state may choose to award up to 10% of its annual HTF allocation to homeowner activities, though to date no state has done so. When it was established in 2008, the HTF was the first new housing resource since 1974 targeted to building, preserving, rehabilitating, and operating rental housing for extremely low-income people. NLIHC, its members, and other stakeholders played a critical role in the creation of the fund and continue to advocate for increases to annual HTF funding. Since 2016, when the first $174 million of HTF dollars were allocated to states, HTF allocations have grown to $219 million (in 2017), $267 million (in 2018), $248 million (in 2019), $323 million (in 2020), and $690 million (in 2021), culminating in the record $740 million that will be allocated to the fund in 2022. “While the allocation announced today is significant and badly needed, the HTF remains woefully underfunded compared to the need,” said Diane Yentel. “The House-passed Build Back Better Act includes a $15 billion allocation for the HTF. Congress should enact it as soon as possible.” Read the FHFA announcement at: bit.ly/3sCap9O Read more about the HTF on page 3-1 of NLIHC’s 2021 Advocates’ Guide and on NLIHC’s two HTF webpages, one of which provides basic information and the other state-specific information. Find HUD’s HTF website at: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/htf Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) acting director Sandra L. Thompson announced that the Housing Trust Fund and Capital Magnet Fund will receive a total of $1.138 billion for affordable housing initiatives from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is the largest amount ever provided to these programs from the government-sponsored enterprises. “Addressing our nation’s affordable housing crisis is critical to FHFA’s mission,” Thompson said. “Today’s announcement of record funding for additional housing production will help increase access to affordable, sustainable housing options.” The Housing Trust Fund, overseen by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, allocates funding annually to states and state-designated entities for the production or preservation of affordable housing through the acquisition, new construction, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of non-luxury housing. This program will receive $740 million, a $29 million increase from the previous year. The Capital Magnet Fund, overseen by the Department of the Treasury, competitively awards money to finance affordable housing activities, as well as related economic development activities and community service facilities. This program will receive $398 million, a $15 million increase from the previous year. Source: National Low Income Housing Coalition]]></description>
