I know it’s been a while since I’ve written, but I need to tell you about some really exciting news.
I just got off the phone with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff – she informed me that the Omnibus Bill the House passed on Wednesday has $190,000 set aside to help ramp up Single Stop right here in the Bay Area. And that’s just for this year!
We are thrilled to hear about this news. With additional food stamps and EITC money embedded in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, there will be more dollars available for low-income families than ever before. But those families need help claiming these tax credits; too often public benefits are left on the table before reaching the people who need them most. Single Stop solves this problem.
I can’t tell you how proud we are at Tipping Point to be partnering with Speaker Pelosi and Mayor Gavin Newsom to bring this life-changing program to the Bay Area. With three sites up and running and three more to come, we’ve only seen the beginning of what this innovative initiative can do!
All of this, of course, is thanks to the unwavering commitment of our donors. Thank you for helping us build a better Bay Area.
All my best,
Daniel
