Health Care for the Homeless Senior Mobile Medical Outreach Teams (SMMO)
Senior Mobile Medical Outreach Team Description
The goal of the senior mobile medical outreach (SMMO) team is to provide services that assess and address the medical, behavioral health and social service needs of low-income older adults (aged 55+) in King County. SMMO services should include a mix of outreach, medical services, behavioral health services and social services. Services delivered in this model will be nurse-led and informed by stakeholder engagement regarding local needs.
In consideration of the geographic diversity of King County, PHSKC envisions that applicants will need to develop separate and distinct approaches to serve urban/suburban and rural residents of King County. Applicants may apply to serve one or both areas of geographic focus, and funds may be awarded to up to two agencies.

Introduction and Program Description
The Department of Health (Department or DOH), Division of Behavioral Health (DBH), is requesting proposals from eligible applicants to provide Alcohol Safety Action Program (Adult and Juvenile) services for the State of Alaska in FY2027. Program Services are authorized under 7 AAC 78 Grant Programs. Additional governing statute is AS 47.31 Uniform Alcoholism and Intoxication Treatment Act. State of Alaska statutes and regulations are accessible at the Department of Law Document Library or through the contact person identified on the cover page of this Request for Proposals (RFP).
The Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP) is an integral part of the criminal justice and healthcare delivery systems.

In partnership with the Alaska Court System, the Alcohol Safety Action Program monitors all cases referred for services, providing court personnel with regular updates, information, and documentation of the progress being made by each referred individual. Program services ensure clients complete court prescribed treatment programs or testing. ASAP is an early intervention effort and is an important element in the continuum of prevention programs.
The State of Alaska, Division of Behavioral Health is soliciting applicants to provide ASAP services within communities that no longer have an agency enrolled in the existing Alcohol Safety Action Program in FY2027. These communities include:

South Carolina Community Development Block Grant
The South Carolina Community Development Block Grant (“State CDBG Program”) is designed to aid units of general local government in improving economic opportunities and meeting community revitalization needs, particularly for persons of low- and moderate-income. The State CDBG Program has been funded through the State since 1982 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (Title I).
CDBG Program Goals and Outcomes
The SC Department of Commerce seeks to improve the well-being of all South Carolinians in a manner that supports and enhances a high quality of life. The State CDBG Program supports the agency’s efforts to strengthen communities through revitalization and improvement of neighborhoods, public infrastructure, and the local economy.
The three overarching goals of the HUD CDBG program are to provide decent housing, economic opportunities and a suitable living environment. Within the context of these goals, each project funded by the State must also meet one of three outcomes identified by HUD: affordability, accessibility, or sustainability.
Local Match/Leveraging
CDBG projects are expected to leverage other public and private investments and serve as a catalyst for future development.
There must be a 10% match of the total CDBG request, unless otherwise approved, which can come from a variety of committed sources including other grants, loans, waiver of fees, public or private investments, and documented volunteer or in-kind contributions. Matching funds must be immediately available for the project at the time of application.
Community Development Block Grant Categories
There are three broad grant program categories: Community Development, Business Development, and Regional Planning. The Community Development Program is further broken down into several subcategories to address infrastructure, community facilities, and local priorities.
Community Development Programs
Description
This program is designed to produce outcomes that improve citizens’ quality of life and create a competitive environment for jobs and investment by addressing priority community development needs. Activities should contribute to healthy, safe and sustainable neighborhoods and communities. These grants are designed to improve the quality of life for distressed and LMI communities. Community Development projects will compete within the following subcategories that have the same general submission requirements, except that the Ready to Go Program will not be funded in a competitive funding round.
Community Development Program Categories: Community Infrastructure; Community Enrichment; Local Priorities Program; and Ready to Go Program
Ready To Go Program
Outcome
This program is designed to stimulate the local economy by addressing urgent or compelling community needs. Funding may also be used for pilot projects which have been developed in coordination with, and have been approved by, the State CDBG Program. The goal is encouraging innovation, the timely implementation of CDBG eligible projects, and cost effectiveness. The project requires an upfront investment of local and other funds for planning, project design and permitting that is substantially equivalent to the required 10% local match.
The project must be an eligible public facility improvement under the Community Infrastructure, Community Enrichment, or Local Priorities program. All required project activities leading up to bidding must be complete prior to submission of the application including but not limited to project design, environmental review, acquisition and permits. CDBG funds may only be used for construction or demolition.

Every Kindness is a Gift
Dollar Tree Gift Card Program 2026
Every Kindness is a Gift is a gift card grant program made possible through the generosity of Dollar Tree and managed by the team here at Gift Card Bank. We are a nonprofit organization that specializes in the distribution of gift cards and our mission is to improve well-being and build financial stability by supporting people through their time of need.
Through Every Kindness is a Gift, nonprofit organizations and Title I schools located in the 48 contiguous states may apply to receive a grant of Dollar Tree gift cards.
Gift cards received through these grants are meant to be distributed directly to individuals and families in need. A primary goal of the program is to give gift card recipients the dignity of choice by empowering them to shop for what they need themselves. By putting gift cards directly in the hands of our neighbors in need, we are able to increase access to essentials like food, school supplies, paper products, cleaning products, and hygiene items.
In 2026, there will be two rounds of grant distributions. In each round, we will award a number of grants between $2,500 and $10,000.
Round One is a summer distribution. Gift cards awarded in Round One will arrive in late June, while kids are on break and back-to-school is around the corner. Round Two is a holiday distribution. Gift cards awarded in Round Two will arrive in early November, as the end-of-year holidays approach.
We know that these are times of year when budgets are tight. Through these gift card grants, we hope to connect individuals and families directly to the essential resources they need during difficult months.
