    The Rural Housing Service (RHS) of the USDA has announced a new pilot program under the Section 504 Direct Single Family Housing Loans and Grants. This program aims to simplify the process for very low-income homeowners in rural areas who need to repair or renovate their homes. A key feature of the pilot is allowing funds to be used for construction materials payment before delivery, addressing common payment issues faced by contractors and applicants. The program is set to run from December 2, 2024, to December 2, 2026, with the possibility of extension, and it includes 25 states and U.S. territories.

    The Department of Education is inviting applications for new awards for fiscal year 2021 under the Educational Technology, Media, and Materials for Individuals with Disabilities Program—Television Access Projects. This initiative aims to improve educational outcomes for students with disabilities by enhancing access to video programming through high-quality audio description and captioning. Eligible applicants include state and local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations. Applicants must demonstrate how their projects will increase the availability and quality of described and captioned educational content, particularly for children with disabilities and English learners.

They're looking for schools and groups who think they can do this best, but there are a lot of rules to follow, which might be tough for smaller groups.
