Hello, MEEOA! You might have heard that there is a new program, Build HOPE, that provides additional financial supports for student parents in HOPE, Parents as Scholars, or TANF that will cover emergent needs beyond what those programs can cover. I wanted to share this resource that includes an application for Build HOPE as well as other information about state benefit programs specifically designed to assist college students with low income. It is written in very accessible, easy-to-understand language that can be passed along directly to anyone you think might benefit: Education (maineequaljustice.org)<https://maineequaljustice.org/people/help-is-available/education/?fbclid=IwAR3HLhlbSZB2oUp2KMwwvC7csV5PR0hMqp1DGIiDmdVUciAUZfAIXowdc_M> Happy Friday! Stay safe and snug this weekend!
