Virginia CASH Campaign/EITC Initiative Training Needs Assessment
Posted by VACAP Archives at 1:41 PM Member News
Under a new 3-year federal grant, the Virginia Community Action Partnership (VACAP), in coordination with the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS), will be presenting a series of Webinars and Webcasts for training and information sharing.
The purpose is to build the capacity of partners and stakeholders to help low-income clients and their familes achieve economic self-sufficiency. The training is geared to initiatives that increase low-income individuals' approvals for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and enrollments in the Virginia Individual Development Account (VIDA) Program.
VACAP is asked its 29 community action agency members, Virginia CASH Campaign coalition members, and other interested organizations to assess their training needs to promote EITC and VIDA activities. Members shared their thoughts on training audience, topics and presenters, and training schedule for 2008-2009.
