Upcoming Congressional Briefing on SSBG
NACHSA is working with NACo and a few other organizations to conduct a September 12 congressional briefing on the Social Services Block Grant. During debate in the House Ways & Means Committee and on the floor this past spring, congressional supporters used information provided by NACHSA members to fight against the proposed elimination. NACHSA will compile the information collected previously and make it available at the event.
To prepare for the briefing, NACo has requested information on the use of Social Services Block Grant funds. Click here to complete the short survey. It is intended to capture additional information and supplement the earlier NACHSA materials.
Please return the survey by September 7 to Marilina Sanz at NACo ([email protected])
