Advocacy for Federal and State Nonprofit Resources: Your Voice is Needed
Nearly 5 months into Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 Response, the need for advocacy is increasing. Together, we must make sure that state and federal bills include nonprofits of all sizes, carving out budget line items allocated to our work, ensuring that regulations do no put undue burdens on operations, and more. Work is happening right now on securing a designated COVID-19 state budget allocation for nonprofits. Time is of the essence.
To best tell our collective story, we are asking you to participate in this statewide COVID-19 Nonprofit Impact Survey.
RCPA is working in collaboration with The Pittsburgh Foundation, the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO), The Forbes Funds, United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, professional organizations, human services providers, community foundations, and other funders statewide on this project.

RFA for Enrollment Broker for Community Based Long-Term Care Services
Today, the Department of Human Services (DHS) issued a Request for Application (RFA) seeking an enrollment broker/vendor to provide enrollment services, choice counseling, and beneficiary support services for older Pennsylvanians and adults with physical disabilities who need long-term services and supports (LTSS) through the Office of Long-Term Living (OLTL).
This enrollment broker will assist and serve individuals who need access to LTSS, including the Community HealthChoices (CHC) program, the Living Independence for the Elderly (LIFE) program, and other home and community-based long-term care programs, such as the OBRA Waiver and Act 150 program. Enrollment brokers assist enrollees with navigating the enrollment process and understand their rights as a health care consumer, their options for a managed care organization (MCO) and care providers, and their ability to make their own choices about their health care and LTSS.
The RFA will be active until October 2, 2020. Interested applicants are encouraged to review the RFA and submit an application.
