Each year\, the IHS submits a five-year facilities plan to Congress and makes it publicly available\, providing clear information on project progress\, work that remains\, and the options for advancing these projects. More information on the IHS Health Care Facilities Construction Program\, including links to the five-year plan\, is available in the attached enclosure. \nIHS Health Care Facilities Construction Priority System Informational Listening Session \nPlease make plans to join the IHS for an informational listening session on October 20\, 2026\, from 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. PDT\, during the National Congress of American Indians 83rd Annual Convention and Marketplace in Palm Springs\, California.

SUMMARY:FEMA Webinars: Public Assistance Updated Reporting Requirements
DESCRIPTION:FEMA will host two webinars this month and two webinars in November to guide Public Assistance recipients and subrecipients as they prepare for new quarterly reporting requirements that will begin in January 2027. \nBeginning in January\, FEMA will require Public Assistance recipients to submit Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) for their large Public Assistance projects in Grants Portal to improve visibility on disaster recovery progress\, identify issues early and minimize delays. QPRs must be submitted within 30 days after the end of each fiscal year quarter. \nAutomating the current manual process will minimize errors and delays\, ensure consistency across disasters and improve data quality\, ultimately saving time and resources. Public Assistance recipients can expect a more streamlined system to help improve project data reliability and verification\, which translates to faster rebuilding of public infrastructure. \nThe 90-minute webinars are intended to prepare state\, local\, tribal and territorial partners\, including Public Assistance recipients and subrecipients\, during this transition. By attending the webinars\, participants will learn about the new reporting requirements and how to submit QPRs through Grants Portal. \nJoin one of the following webinar sessions below. No need to pre-register: \n\nJoin the Oct. 27 webinar at 10:30 a.m. EST\nJoin the Oct. 28 webinar at 2:30 p.m. EST\nJoin the Nov. 10 webinar at 10:30 a.m. EST\nJoin the Nov. 12 webinar at 2:30 p.m. EST\n\nFEMA will continue to work closely with Public Assistance recipients and subrecipients to ensure that disaster recovery projects move forward in a timely manner.

SUMMARY:106 Strong Rally
DESCRIPTION:Dear 106 Strong Coalition Leaders\, \nReserve this day on your calendars now for a powerful rally: \nMonday\, November 9\, 2026\nU.S. Capitol\, Washington D.C. \nFor sixty years\, the National Historic Preservation Act has helped protect the places that tell America’s stories: Tribal sacred sites\, historic neighborhoods\, battlefields\, burial grounds\, landmarks\, and the places where ordinary people made extraordinary history. \nNow\, those protections face one of the gravest threats in their history. \nAs the Senate prepares to consider legislation that would dismantle the National Historic Preservation Act\, 106 Strong is calling Americans to gather at the U.S. Capitol on November 9 to stand for our history\, our communities\, Tribal Nations\, and our right to be heard.  \nWe are 1\,000 organizations and Tribal Nations representing more than nine million Americans. We come from every corner of the country\, every kind of community\, and many different backgrounds. We are united by a simple conviction: \nOur history belongs to all of us. No administration or Congress should be able to destroy it without listening to the people whose lives and communities it defines.  \nOn November 9\, we will bring that message directly to the nation’s capital. We invite Tribal citizens\, preservationists\, historians\, architects\, archaeologists\, museum professionals\, students\, community advocates\, and everyone who cares about America’s heritage to join us. \nCome to Washington. Bring your colleagues. Bring your friends. Bring the stories of the places you love.  \nWe will gather peacefully\, stand together\, and call on Congress to reject legislation that weakens protections for America’s historic and cultural places.
