Sign On: Oppose Health and Social Services Restrictions by HHS
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued a reinterpretation [[link removed]] of eligibility restrictions under the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) that restricts immigrant access to community health centers, mental health and substance abuse care, Head Start, and other public health and social services. Join PIF in speaking out against this attack on the health and wellbeing of immigrant families by signing onto our letter [[link removed]] to HHS. Learn more and sign on via the link below.

Webinar: Immigration & Disaster Recovery: Rights, Access, and Where We Go from Here
Recent changes in the federal government have renewed concerns and fears over potential immigration enforcement actions during disasters. This has raised questions among community members about whether they should pursue emergency assistance during and following disasters. During this webinar, experts working to tackle this issue will share what we know now, where things are changing, and what we can all do to keep our communities safe and fix our broken disaster recovery system. Join PIF and partners, National Low Income Housing Coalition, Just Solutions, and more for this timely and informative session, on Tuesday, August 12, at 2pm ET.
