SUMMARY:LIHWAP and Community Action
DESCRIPTION:Join the federal Office of Community Services (OCS)\, CAPLAW\, and the National Community Action Partnership for a webinar on Thursday\, January 27th discussing the critical role that the Community Action network can play in facilitating the Low-Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP). With over $1.1 billion in new emergency funding\, LIHWAP helps low-income households maintain access to drinking water and wastewater services by paying for water utility reconnections and bills. Grant recipients may work with local CAAs to distribute LIHWAP funding to benefit eligible households. \nThe webinar will feature CAAs from Michigan\, Iowa\, and Kentucky sharing their experiences planning for and launching their LIHWAP programs\, and how they are leveraging other sources of funding such as Emergency Rental Assistance\, LIHEAP\, and CSBG\, to provide utilities assistance to their communities. CAPLAW will also discuss its new resource\, LIHWAP: A Primer for the Community Action Network\, which is an online guide that helps the Community Action network navigate the program and better understand the role that CAAs may play in facilitating the funding. The resource incorporates current federal guidance and addresses aspects of the program critical to Community Action. \nPresenters: OCS\, CAPLAW\, NCAP\, Wayne Metro Community Action Agency\, IMPACT Community Action Partnership\, Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission \nView On Demand

SUMMARY:Federal Vaccine Mandates: Step-by-Step Compliance Guide for Community Action
DESCRIPTION:CAPLAW recently issued a step-by-step compliance guide to help the Community Action network navigate the employee vaccination mandates announced by OSHA\, Head Start\, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). In this resource we describe the planning process your CAA should consider as you develop and update your policies to reflect the new requirements. We also provide two template policies to assist your CAA in complying with the new mandates: a mandatory vaccination policy and a policy requiring vaccinations or allowing employees to choose weekly COVID-19 testing and face coverings. In this webinar we discuss these essential resources\, as well as the status of ongoing litigation challenging these mandates. \nView On Demand

SUMMARY:Special Conversation with CAPLAW: OSHA and CMS Vaccine Mandates
DESCRIPTION:The highly-anticipated OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) vaccine mandates have been issued. \nUnder the OSHA ETS\, employers with 100 or more employees must ensure their workers are either fully vaccinated or are submitting negative COVID-19 tests at least once a week by January 4\, 2022. The separate CMS vaccine mandate applies to all employees at health care facilities that receive federal funding from Medicare or Medicaid\, and it also requires employees to be vaccinated by January 4\, 2022. The CMS vaccine mandate does not give employees the option to test weekly in lieu of getting vaccinated. \nView On Demand
