24 BARRIERS TO ACCESSING FEDERAL FUNDS FOR OPPORUTNITY YOUTH PUBLICATION COMING SOON FROM ASPEN INSTITUTE: Funding Opportunity Youth Success: Optimizing Use of Four Large Federal Resources WIOA: Workforce Investment & Opportunity Act TANF: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families SNAP: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Pell Grants: College Tuition Support 24

25 BARRIERS TO ACCESSING FEDERAL FUNDS FOR OPPORUTNITY YOUTH Many challenges are discussed in the paper, from the practitioner perspective: Not enough $ to meet demand Blending funds flexibly is difficult to impossible Unrealistic mandatory case-load levels for high-barrier youth Eligibility thresholds (age, income) Inability to use funds for housing Time periods too short Reimbursement-based approach & organizational cash flow 25

26 BARRIERS TO ACCESSING FEDERAL FUNDS FOR OPPORUTNITY YOUTH Some recommendations from the paper: Create a set of resources to help local collaboratives and providers understand and use federal resources effectively Support local community cross-sector planning for removal of local barriers to maximizing existing funds Advocate for changes to policies and regulations at all levels of government which restrict the efficacy of funds meant to support opportunity youth 26
