Grant to Center for Economic Progress of Chicago, IL; Office of 
Family Assistance

AGENCY: Office of Family Assistance, ACF, DHHS.

ACTION: Grant award announcement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an award is being made to the 
Center for Economic Progress of Chicago, IL in the amount of $50,000 to 
provide outreach on the Earned Income Tax Credit to TANF recipients and 
other low income individuals. After the appropriate reviews, it has 
been determined that this unsolicited proposal qualifies for funding.
    The goal of the Center for Economic Progress is to increase access 
to tax credits and asset building opportunities for low and moderate 
income individuals, families and communities. The Center serves 
hundreds of thousands of low income taxpayers each tax filing season, 
and has developed critical knowledge and understanding of the 
experiences of the taxpayers and the barriers they face accessing the 
EITC and other low income tax credits.
    The Center for Economic Progress is the only organization in the 
country that has a statewide contract with a State TANF Agency to 
provide EITC outreach to TANF recipients. They have distinguished 
itself as a Chicago, statewide and national leader through its 
innovative programs, partnerships with community organizations, 
corporate allies, and government agencies. The Center for Economic 
Progress is uniquely qualified to conduct this project because of its 
many successes in EITC outreach.
    The period of this funding will extend through September 30, 2004.

Assistance, Administration for Children and Families, 370 L'Enfant
