2020 Census
The Network is excited to announce that we are partnering with the
U.S. Census Bureau
to support the 2020 Census. As a partner, NJHSA will be working to make sure member agencies are prepared to ensure all communities are accurately represented in the upcoming decennial count. Census results are the basis for congressional representation and help determine how more than $675 billion in federal funds is distributed each year to support vital programs in states and communities across the country. These funds shape local health care, housing, education, transportation, employment, and public policy.
Webinar: Take Action: What Census 2020 Means for Your Human Services Organization & Your Clients
Thursday, February 20th | 3pm ET |
REGISTER
The information collected by the census ensures fair representation and is also used by the government to make important decisions regarding allocation of social services funding. The social service sector can play a critical role in this important process. Join NJHSA and the
Alliance for Strong Families and Communities
for a webinar with national experts about the importance of a full census count and outreach strategies and resources for YOUR agency to help ensure an accurate count.

Refugee Remote Placement Site
An email was sent to member agency executives on December 20th inquiring about interest in acting as a limited "remote placement site" for the US Refugee Admissions program. A “remote placement site” comes into play when a refugee follows a U.S. tie, and there is no refugee service provider in the area. HIAS hopes to have a network of remote placement sites. HIAS has heard from a number of agencies, but they are still looking for additional remote placement site candidates. Please contact HIAS Senior Director for Refugee Resettlement and Integration
Alicia Wrenn
at 301-844-7912 prior to Friday, January 17th.

Helping Survivors While Honoring Their Lives
Not every couple can say they met, launched a nonprofit together, raised almost $30,000 and got married in the space of less than two years. But John and Amy Israel Pregulman did just that, founding their nonprofit organization,
KAVOD
, to provide emergency aid to Holocaust survivors. In fact, it’s the very thing that brought them together in the first place. The couple's focus is now primarily on providing quick emergency assistance to survivors, but they are continuing their photography project.
Learn more about Kavod's work and what's to come here
