<p align="center">July 22, 2024</p>

<p>The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), announced the first-ever Licensure Portability Grant Program, which is an investment in the multi-state social worker licensure compact. This grant will provide $2.5 million in support of the Social Work Compact. This welcome support will make the implementation of the Compact easier and may be less of a financial burden for LCSWs who live in states that have passed the Compact and choose to join as individuals. Please visit the <a href="https://www.clinicalsocialworkassociation.org/EmailTracker/LinkTracker.ashx?linkAndRecipientCode=Q8NU%2B%2F875LNqCNlp5DyQI7fmVBOKzTB%2FnUomKYcHgnzqEaqhIzUeE6LzQ%2BAVcVowCjrzZBzOALpyiVCdz%2Fkf4hccsDKyobqGesn%2FgNpi9cQ%3D">U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website</a> for more information.</p>

<p>More details about the Compact will be forthcoming after the September 17 meeting to establish the Commission that will be running the Compact, which I will be running as Interim Chair. CSWA will continue to provide information about the Compact as it develops.</p>
