Human Service NewsbytesFebruary 16, 2007 Human Service Newsbytes is the biweekly E-newsletter of the National Human Services Assembly that contains information for and about the nonprofit health and human services sector.
Joint Agencies’ Trust and Northwest Agencies’ Trust, two of the nation’s leading unemployment trusts for nonprofits, announced they have merged into a single organization named 501(c) Agencies Trust. With federal unemployment levels and claims continuing to decline, the merger provides a timely opportunity for nonprofit members to further reduce the risks and costs associated with unemployment taxes. For more information, go to www.501ctrust.org. The National Council on Crime & Delinquency released a new poll that shows the public strongly favors rehabilitation for youth and rejects placing youth in adult jails and prisons. U.S. voters are concerned about youth crime and clearly express their willingness to fund services to reduce crime. For more information, click here.

Fiscal Year 2008 Budget The President submitted his Fiscal Year 2008 Budget Proposal to Congress on February 5, 2007. Once again, the proposal seeks to make significant cuts to domestic discretionary programs, particularly programs in the service sector. The National Human Services Assembly is working with its member organizations to create a strategy to call on Congress to provide in its Budget Resolution adequate funding for programs that are essential to the well-being of millions of Americans. Materials and resources will be shared with member organizations as the strategy takes shape, and some materials will be posted to our Federal Budget pages. Proposed Budget Impacts Youth The National Collaboration for Youth has created a chart that identifies programs proposed for significant cuts or elimination in the Fiscal Year 2008 Budget Proposal. View the chart by clicking here (PDF). Fiscal Year 2007 Funding Following the House, the Senate approved a “year-long” continuing resolution to provide funding for federal departments and programs for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2007 at Fiscal Year 2006 levels, with some exceptions. The president signed the measure. Completing this process, left over from the 109th Congress, now clears the way for attention to be focused on the Fiscal Year 2008 Budget Resolution and subsequent appropriations process.
