Funding Alert: Two HHS Grant Solicitations under ARRA Including Workforce and Job Training/Recruitment

HHS has just announced two funding opportunities (Strengthening Communities Through Private and Public Partnerships) in which it will make $50 million of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds available to eligible applicants, including non-profit and for-profit organizations. Partnering with private and public organizations, HHS will provide one-time, two year grants through two program funds. The focus of these two funding opportunities is to build capacity of nonprofit organizations, whether secular or faith-based, to address the broad recovery issues in their communities, help low-income individuals secure and retain employment, earn higher wages, obtain better-quality jobs, and gain greater access to state and federal benefits and tax credits.

ANCOR encourages its members to consider applying for these federal funds or collaborating with state and local governments or other entities to access these funds.
