APS TARC Formula Grant Webinar - Spending Your Federal Funds Wisely
Channel: APS Technical Assistance Resource Center
Date: 2023-12-11

This webinar was held for ACL APS formula grantees. The purpose of this webinar was to provide technical assistance support to state APS programs that are using federal formula grant funds to purchase services for APS clients. The APS TARC held a listening session on a similar topic and it was clear that states have both technical assistance needs and have much to offer each other in this area. For some states, this is the first time that have such funds available; other states have years of experience to assist other states. This webinar briefly reviewed ACL guidance related to use of funds services, presented an overview of how states plan to use COVID funding for services, and talked through the challenges and opportunities with two states – one state-administered and one county-administered – that have experience purchasing services for clients. Participants had the opportunity to share their opportunities and challenges as well.
