| 2025 NAP Grant Applications Due Aug. 15
| |
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recently released details for a 2025 New Access Point (NAP) grant opportunity, opening up $50 million in funding for potential new health centers and Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) programs. Grant applications are due Aug. 15, 2024.
On our HCH Helpdesk blog, we review the Health Center Program's history, the HCH designation, and the National Health Care for the Homeless Council’s technical assistance offerings around grant applications. While NHCHC cannot write applications for organizations, we can support health centers with many aspects of their Health Center Program compliance. But don't wait — NAP applications are due Aug. 15!

| A Closer Look: Cruel and Unusual Punishment, Part 3
| |
On Monday, April 22, the Supreme Court heard the case Johnson v. Grants Pass — a case to determine whether it is cruel and unusual punishment when communities ticket or fine unsheltered people for sleeping outside.
On Friday, June 28, the Supreme Court issued its opinion: They said it is NOT cruel and unusual to ticket, fine, or otherwise punish unsheltered people for sleeping outside, even if there are no shelter beds available. Naturally, the entire national homelessness advocacy community strongly disagrees. (See the Council’s statement here.)
On A Closer Look, our policy blog: We've highlighted five positions SCOTUS took in the Johnson v. Grants Pass ruling that are particularly troubling, plus three ways you can push back.
