We’ve updated the ARRA Matrix on the Community Solutions website that lists key health, social service, and education appropriations included in the economic recovery package. The new (and improved) document still includes program descriptions, but adds the far-right column which lists the final distribution authority – who actually spends the money for each program (or in other words, where to apply in most cases).

It is our hope that this document will help advocates navigate the sometimes choppy waters of the various funding streams as you try to figure out where you might be able to get money for your programs. If you have questions on specific programs, feel free to contact me at ecampbell@communitysolutions.com

Still looking for more information? I'll be at Lakeland Community College on Thursday to discuss this subject in more detail. The program is free, but pre-registration is required: www.lakelandcc.edu/comeduc/
