In an effort to continue to improve our communication to faith and community groups around the country, we are proud to continue to improve our communication with the shorter format of our newsletter than in the past. Our hope is that this gives you a quick insight into resources, webinars and potential grant opportunities and awards in your local community from the Center for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
To share your efforts related to any of these important issues, please contact the HHS Partnership Center at Partnerships@hhs.gov or 202-358-3595.

The My Brother’s Keeper Task Force has released their One-Year Progress Report to the President. Throughout the past year President Obama and his administration have focused on three areas: Place-Based State and Local Engagement, Private-Sector Action, and Public Policy review. Since President Obama’s Call to Action, over 200 mayors, tribal leaders, and county executives have accepted the My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge. The Community Challenge implements locally driven, place-based strategies to support cradle-to-college-to-career outcomes. Support My Brother’s Keeper by becoming a Community Ally!
