Moving To Work (MTW)
MTW is a demonstration program for public housing authorities (PHAs) that provides them the opportunity to design and test innovative, locally-designed strategies that use Federal dollars more efficiently, help residents find employment and become self-sufficient, and increase housing choices for low-income families. MTW gives PHAs exemptions from many existing public housing and voucher rules and more flexibility with how they use their Federal funds. MTW PHAs are expected to use the opportunities presented by MTW to inform HUD about ways to better address local community needs. New Haven Leon Sister City Project (NHLSCP)
NHLSCP is a bi-national organization working in Greater New Haven, Connecticut and León, Nicaragua to promote social justice and support education and sustainable development. Through delegations and other exchanges, we strive to understand and celebrate our respective cultures. We also educate about the impact of US government and individual choices on Nicaragua and other parts of the world. Unidad Latina en Accion (U.L.A.)
ULA is a grassroots organization founded in 2002 to defend the rights of immigrants. Our members are immigrants and people of color who have suffered human rights abuses on the job and in the immigration system. We use direct action and legal challenges to help workers recover unpaid wages and to help families challenge injustices in the immigration and criminal justice system. We are part of the Connecticut Immigrant Rights Alliance and the Not One More campaign led by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. Toyahvale Desert Oasis
Toyahvale, Texas, nestled in the foothills of the Davis Mountains, is home to Balmorhea State Park where the San Solomon Springs, one of the Greatest Wonders of the Chihuahuan Desert, flows an amazing one million gallons of crystal clear water an hour. Toyahvale, with its natural spring waters and picturesque mountain background, provides a unique opportunity to experience a variety of aquatic recreational activities while enjoying spectacular sunrises and sunsets. |
