2) United4CommonGood

I strongly encourage everyone to support this compact which is led by St. Camillus Catholic Church to protect the residents, small businesses and workers in the International Corridor.  Please sign their petition and spread the word.  See

This initiative is related to the Purple Line Compact which is led by Casa de Maryland, and other leading organizations.  Safe Silver Spring is a supporter of this Compact.  The Compact is designed to ensure that the residents, small businesses and workers in the International Corridor are protected from any negative impacts of the Purple Line.

Using Title IV-E for Juvenile Justice 
Webinar

Has your jurisdiction experienced a decrease in juvenile justice funding? Are you looking for funding to support home- and community-based services (e.g., alternative placements to detention)? Are you interested in learning how other jurisdictions have implemented a Title IV-E claiming program?

Please join us for a webinar on "Using Title IV-E for Juvenile Justice: The Multnomah County Experience" on July 23 at 1:00pm ET.

This webinar will explain how jurisdictions can leverage Title IV-E of the Social Security Act to support programs and services in their juvenile justice system. Participants will learn about Title IV-E, what types of programs and services can receive Title IV-E reimbursement, and how different stakeholders can support the implementation of a Title IV-E claiming program in their jurisdiction. Participants will gain insight into the lessons learned from the thoughtful, collaborative process executed in Multnomah County, Oregon.

Christina McMahan, Director of the Juvenile Services Division at the Department of Community Justice in Multnomah County, Oregon will serve as presenter.
