Legislative Network Alerts Alert Number 106 February 7, 2005 For Your Information President's Budget: Correction on PWIs, Supported Employment, Migrants and Seasonal Farmworkers, Recreation To: Members of the Legislative Network From: Patricia Leahy, Director of Governmental Affairs Upon a closer examination of the President's budget, we have discovered that the President's Budget recommends NO FUNDING in Title VI for Supported Employment, Projects With Industry (PWIs), Migrants and Seasonal Farmworkers and Recreation. The National Rehabilitation Association reported earlier that these programs had been consolidated into Title I of VR. That is not the case. Moreover, Special Projects (which funds a number of issues, including mentoring) has been recommended in the President's Budget not to be been funded at all or is so minimally funded as not to be effective. Once again, these are RECOMMENDATIONS that are made in the President's Budget, which the Congress will take under consideration. We will continue to keep you advised of additional on the President's budget as that information becomes known to us. |
