Public Announcement to Service-Learning Field:
Possibility of Increased Funds for National Service
As you may already know, the Senate VA-HUD subcommittee approved level
funding for AmeriCorps and Learn & Serve America programs, with a $1
million increase ear-marked for the Inspector General.
This coming Monday and Tuesday, during floor consideration of the VA-HUD
Appropriations bill, an amendment is expected to be offered to provide
funding for the President's America Reads initiative.
This amendment offers the only prospect of additional funds for national
service.
