Tribes will never meet meaningful funding levels.\nBecause of the funding formula\, Tribes are not able to count Elders under age 60\, even though they can serve them under Title VI\, so unfunded moving mandate and again\, lack of equity and access.\nTitle VII gives funding and primary authority for Elder adult protection services (APS) to states. Even Guam and Puerto Rico get funding for APS\, but nothing to Tribes.\nTitle III – state allocation that counts Tribes. States are supposed to either provide the services to Tribal Elders ages 60 + and/or *contract/pay the Tribe when it provides the service*. The two programs are supposed to coordinate. There is no best practices guidance and no consequences to states who do not comply. Tribes are asking for a direct-to-them share of Title III rather than the trickle down through the states. This *can* be done and a few states do this: Wisconsin is a good example – the state carves out a share to each of the 11 Tribal aging programs.\n\nTribal Leaders are encouraged to provide oral testimony during the Consultation\, or to provide written authorization for another person speaking on behalf of leadership.  Others will be heard as time allows. Everyone is encouraged to provide written comment.  Written testimony can be submitted to: olderindians@acl.hhs.gov until November 13\, 2023 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time.

SUMMARY:USDA Forest Service Virtual Office Hours for Prospective Applicants
DESCRIPTION:September 29 and October 13 at 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Central/3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern \nJoin the USDA Forest Service for two virtual office hours opportunities on September 29 and October 13\, 2023 for prospective applicants to ask questions about the Inflation Reduction Act Forest Landowner Support Funding Opportunity. \nJOIN OFFICE HOURS: Join Microsoft Teams Meeting \nForest Service staff will be available to answer questions regarding allowable costs\, eligibility criteria\, and other information from the Notice of Funding Opportunity. \nNo RSVP is required for participation. \nEmerging climate markets are creating economic incentives to keep forests healthy and productive through reforestation\, thinning overgrown forests\, and more. However\, high acreage requirements and prohibitive start-up costs have caused many small-acreage and underserved private forest owners to be left behind. These investments will expand access to markets that were previously out-of-reach\, allowing underserved and small-acreage forest landowners to be a larger part of the climate solution while also supporting rural economies and healthy forests. \nSee the Forest Service news releases and the Forest Landowner Assistance webpage for details.

SUMMARY:Nuts\, Bolts\, and Cables: Opportunities in Tribal Broadband Webinar
DESCRIPTION:October 16\, 2023 at 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm Central\nVirtual video event\nRegister \nInternet access connects communities to economic opportunity and vital services. Research from the Center for Indian Country Development (CICD) has found that tribal areas have inadequate access to high-speed Internet\, known as broadband. Today\, new funding and partnership possibilities are opening opportunities for tribes to improve their communities’ digital infrastructure. Seizing these opportunities requires accurate\, comprehensive data on the state of broadband across Indian Country. \nWe invite you to join us October 16 for a conversation about the research on tribal broadband and opportunities for tribes to improve their communities’ Internet access. This is the third event in CICD’s 2023 webinar series: Cultivating Native Economies in the 21st Century. The series provides tribal leaders\, policymakers\, and practitioners with information they can use to strengthen and expand Indian Country economic prosperity. \nOur October 16 webinar will feature research on the tribal digital divide and information on modern broadband policies and programs. Tribal broadband practitioners and federal policymakers will discuss data challenges as well as opportunities for tribal governments to advance their service networks. Presenters and panelists will also explore the connection between tribes’ ability to make decisions about their digital infrastructure and tribal sovereignty. Participants will have the opportunity to share questions as part of a live question-and-answer session. \nThe event is held in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and the American Indian Policy Institute at Arizona State University.
