CAPLAW Webinar

The executive actions taken during the first several months of the new Trump administration have garnered a great deal of attention and raised numerous questions for Community Action Agencies (CAAs). Through a series of executive orders (EOs) and memos, the administration has issued broad directives potentially impacting grantees around the use, review, and availability of federal funding. What is more, legal action has been taken to challenge many of these actions and ongoing litigation is generating much uncertainty about what's to come. To help CAAs understand these actions and the related legal issues, CAPLAW is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, June 25 at 1pm ET. This will be Part 3 of CAPLAW's webinar series on the new administration's early moves, and it will provide attendees with status updates on executive actions, federal agency policies, and key related litigation.

Join CAPLAW for a conversation about the impact of the federal government shutdown on the Community Action Network. This session is designed as an open forum to hear and respond to CAAs as they navigate uncertainty, maintain operational continuity, and plan proactively. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and CAPLAW will also use this time to learn more about issues currently impacting the Network. 

Join CAPLAW for a webinar showcasing several of our new resources and tools. CAPLAW attorneys will explain key elements of the legal framework behind each resource, as well as how the information can be used to enhance CAAs’ compliance, operations, and programs. This session will also include a brief demonstration of some resources to boost usability and highlight special features.

Join CAPLAW for a discussion of key, potential changes on the horizon to the rules that govern the administration and use of federal awards.

On May 29, 2026, the Office of Management and Budget, along with a number of federal agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services, published proposed revisions to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). If implemented, the revisions could result in a number of impactful changes for the Community Action Network. We will share our analysis of the proposed changes and our understanding of their potential implications for federal grant recipients and subrecipients.
