It is blatant unfairness displayed for the world to see. It scared me and made me think how many people may try to act out and harm me or someone I love. So, I acknowledge the fear and it gives me righteous anger. I decided to choose faith and live courageously choosing joy, peace and walking securely in love. 00:19:12 Stephanie Wilhelm: Stephanie Wilhelm with CAPWN 00:20:04 Chandra Essex: Chandra Essex, Community IMPACT Network 00:20:30 Carrie Malek-Madani: Deborah, we don't know each other but sending a big hug your way. 00:20:57 Angie Ludemann: Angie Ludemann, CFS DHHS 00:21:29 JoAnn Gieselman: So honored to serve and share with all of you!!

You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers—so many caring people in this world." - Mr. Fred Rogers 00:23:16 Tori Courter: Honored to be apart of this group and have the support that we have. I pray for everyones families and especially children during these uncertain times in our country! 00:23:32 Nikia Gunn-Abdulai: Beautifully Spoken Gaye, Thank you for reminding us all why we do the work that we do.

It was not an event. It was an attack that was incited by leaders with much power! Yes I am angry. Yes I will move beyond, but I will be mobilized. 00:30:29 Margot Dainowski: How have we as a nation fallen to this point? We need to stand together. We need to send our voices throughout that we are so much more. Let us all be the beacons of love, of respect, of dignity, of equal justice for all. Goodness will overcome. Truth and honor will win no matter how long the struggle takes. Love will endure and be victorious even in the darkest of days. Let's be the shining light, the torch. 00:31:07 Rachel Vaca-Lubischer (she/her): Watching the rioters from yesterday walk into and largely freely out of the Capitol building was a display of white privilege that brings me back to the treatment of BLM protesters in our own downtown Omaha this summer. I'm so grateful the organizers of this meeting are acknowledging and holding space for the impact of yesterday's events and how it is affecting our communities (and our focus today). 00:31:20 Jamie Bouslaugh: Sorry forgot to say I am here just listening to everyone. Thanks for all the kind and thoughtful words. Jamie Bouslaugh, Norfolk Family Coalition. 00:31:28 Karen Rathke - Heartland United Way: I’m in the DC area right now and struggled watching the events unfold and to also see my son-in-law prepare his “ turtle gear” (as we call it) to serve his country and respond last night. As a father of two little ones, it is hard for this grandma to peel back all the layers of emotions from national, state, local and the personal perspectives of the events yesterday. God Bless America! 00:32:24 Catherine Brown she/her: Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DoRightRightNow 00:32:52 Steph Gardeman, FFC: Stephanie Gardeman, Fremont Family Coalition 00:33:13 Cathy Mohnike: Cathy Mohnike Dept of Ed 00:33:48 Tera Kucera: Tera Kucera- Care Corps' LifeHouse & Fremont Family Coalition 00:34:02 Jill Becker: Jill Becker, Black Hills Energy 00:34:46 Christy Fiala: Christy Fiala, Fremont United Way, Fremont Family Coaltion 00:36:06 Carrie Malek-Madani: https://www.nebcommfound.org/event/virtual-nurturing-active-hope-in-the-new-year/ 00:39:56 Carrie Malek-Madani: thank you all! I have to run to my next call. really an honor to be on with all of you today and hoping our paths cross again soon. 00:50:04 Susanne Shore: Thanks to Appleseed/Coalition for sending out the survey. It’s helpful to see what has happened since the big survey everyone completed months ago. It’s great to have this type of evidence and information. 00:50:39 Denise Zwiener: how can we stay in touch with Appleseed and these policies as they move forward? 00:53:08 Katie Pitts - NE Appleseed: You all can reach out to me kpitts@neappleseed.org or Laurie Lage at laurie@strongnebraska.org 00:57:05 Lea Ann Johnson: Is this a state decision or federal decision.... Confused by information that was previously sent out? 00:57:22 Brady Rhodes: Sorry if I missed this - was there a timeline shared for a decision about $? 01:00:19 Greg Donovan: Thanks to Catherine and others for the 6-month evaluation webinars 01:03:23 Denise Zwiener: we have one ask for 9 months back rent for $10,000. this is very real in BC too 01:03:43 Tori Courter: Yes, thank you for mentioning this Karen Rathke. We are seeing these same issues/concerns/barriers in our community as well. 01:05:09 gabriellamctate: Thank you Karen- you voiced what so many of us are feeling 01:05:16 Collena: Thank you, Karen, for expressing what many of us are feeling. 01:05:23 Deborah Dancer: Thank you, Karen 01:05:25 NFC Director: Ours too 01:05:50 Rose Hood Buss: YES...thank you Karen you put in to words what we are all feeling! 01:06:10 Deborah Dancer: Thank you, Tori. That is heavy. 01:07:13 deanna brakhage: I have been covid tracing, yesterday I had 2 families that were behind in rent due to lack of hours to COIVD and the members of the family all had to quarantine for so long. They are fearful of being evicted. I think it is going to get worse. 01:08:11 Alexandria Labenz: If any of your requests are coming from 'youth' head of household ages 24 and under, Central plains has some rapid response funds that might be able to be used across the state while we wait for further funding. 01:09:21 Alexandria Labenz: https://ccfl.unl.edu/community-services-management/docs/bos-hours-public-door.pdf 01:09:41 Judi Sickler: I have heard of people in our community not getting Covid tested because they don't want to miss work. This isn't helpful to reduce the spread. 01:14:09 Stacy Schenk: hbgy+9 01:14:13 Elci Warnell (she/her): Is there any conversations happening with large employers? It seems that there needs to be an understanding/problem solving around how families can feel confident in their employment if they think they need to be tested or if school goes to remote. 01:14:50 Tori Courter: The uncertainty of the future months and the mutations of this virus, etc has made it so we are also projecting how much we can spend on a monthly basis to make our existing funds last through the year. That is limiting how much assistance we are able to provide on a month to month basis and we are still seeing so much COVID impact that we fear the existing funds will be gone before we know it. Karen - we are experiencing this to and times are just so scary right now! We can just do the best we can to provide support even if that is not necessarily financial support for every family! 01:14:54 Susanne Shore: Karen and everyone - if you know of “work arounds” that other states have utilized, please please please let me know. I’m triple checking with Gov staff but we’ve tried to figure this out and have been told by feds that there wasn’t flexibility. 01:17:44 Katie Pitts - NE Appleseed: I’d also highly recommend calling your state senator too about what your organizations are experiencing. This is a budget year for the state and so making sure they have a picture of the needs and resources the state can help provide to meet those needs is crucial these next few weeks as senators dig into funding for programs across the state. Anything Appleseed can do to help lift up stories or share information with policymakers, we are happy to do that too. 01:17:59 Alexandria Labenz: The BoS CDBG will not be able to be used in Grand Island however since they get their own allocation as an entitlement community. 01:18:45 Deborah Dancer: Are there any income limits 01:19:27 Andrea Curtis: Please refer anyone at risk of eviction and homelessness to Legal Aid and to a public access point. There are funds for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing. In addition, the eviction moratorium was extended to January 31. 01:19:41 Andrea Curtis: Here's the list of Public Access Points: I live in Lincoln and I've been impacted by COVID-19  I live in Lincoln  I live in Douglas or Sarpy County  I live in a different area of Nebraska  01:20:02 Alexandria Labenz: https://ccfl.unl.edu/community-services-management/docs/bos-hours-public-door.pdf 01:20:06 Andrea Curtis: http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Nebraska-Homeless-Assistance-Program-Recipients.aspx 01:20:34 Andrea Curtis: My apologies this website has links to all of the public access points: http://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Nebraska-Homeless-Assistance-Program-Recipients.aspx 01:20:45 Alexandria Labenz: I believe the CDBG will be at 80% AMI 01:22:30 Deborah Dancer: I have heard of that. 01:23:12 Rose Hood Buss: Any supports available to pay for deposits? 01:24:14 Andrea Curtis: ESG COVID is 50% of AMI 01:24:16 Alexandria Labenz: ESG for COVID is 50% ami 01:24:54 Tera Kucera: ESG-CV 50% 01:37:16 Nikia Gunn-Abdulai: Can we get a copy of the power point? 01:37:38 Brady Rhodes: yes please 01:41:50 Margot Dainowski: Thank you everyone. This was my first time attending and I am glad I attended. As a DHHS Family Coach I want to thank all the Central Navigators for their hard work. I want to give a shout out to the Lincoln, Dawson, and Keith County Navigators. I am so impressed with their working with me - to assist our families in my coverage areas. Thank you so much for the work you do!!! 01:43:47 Mary O'Hare: what is the cost of the training? 01:44:32 Deborah Dancer: I have to run. Thank you does not seem like enough to say about the care you facilitated today. 01:45:09 JoAnn Gieselman: Thank you so much for these wonderful calls!! 01:45:16 Sandy Nation: Thank you! 01:45:17 martha.marfileno-BCCHP: Thank you 01:45:22 NFC Director: Thanks! 01:45:33 Teresa O'Donnell - Nebraska Strong Region 6: Thank you!
