Harris County residents who need financial assistance from the pandemic could be eligible for a $1,500 check.
County leaders approved a $30 million pot to help those in need who have hit financial hardships during the pandemic. The one-time payment will come through Catholic Charities, which is helping administer the funds.
Applications opened Wednesday. They ll be accepted through Aug. 11.
There s no need to rush to apply – recipients will be chosen at random instead of a first-come, first-serve basis. That means anyone who makes the application deadline has an equal chance of getting paid.
I’ve been in nursing for more than a quarter of a century, and it’s been around that entire time. The nursing shortage is something that will continue through the years, according to all the projections that I see.
Now, COVID has impacted nursing, but it depends on who you’re asking what the impact is going to be. There were probably a lot of nurses close to retirement age who would have stuck around in full-time positions considerably longer, but maybe with COVID now they’ve decided to go into travel or contract assignments to get out of the full-time stressors that nursing holds.
The second and third rounds of ESSER funding, amounting respectively to $5.5 billion and $12.4 billion, have not yet been distributed to Texas public school districts. Morath said this is because the Legislature is awaiting guidance from the federal government on certain conditions tied to the funding.
According to the two most recent rounds of ESSER funding, states are required to maintain the same percentage of funding to support education allocated prior to the pandemic through fiscal year 2022-23. Morath said Texas faces a unique challenge here because House Bill 3 passed in 2019 infused a net $4.4 billion of new revenue year over year into school district budgets in FY 2019-20.
