 News On August 10th, a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate approved an infrastructure bill with provisions for an "energy efficiency materials pilot program."  This program, if passed in the House of Representatives and signed by the President, will provide $50 million in grants to nonprofits, which includes religious congregations.  Up to $200,000 per nonprofit will be earmarked to support new energy-efficient systems such as roofs, lighting, windows, doors, heating, ventilation, A/C, or renewable energy systems.

 For more information about this opportunity for congregations, read:

 Stories and Case Studies
 Hosted and organized by Huda Alkaff, Founder and Director, Wisconsin Green Muslims and Coordinator, Wisconsin Faith and Solar Initiative.      The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's Partners for Health is conducting a "MyStrengths+MyHealth" survey to help them understand strengths, challenges, and needs of our community.  In this survey, you will be asked about a range of topics related to your health status and health care you receive. Example topics include safe at work and home, mental health, caretaking, breathing, nutrition, physical activity, substance use, and personal care. The research survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

 To learn more about the "MyStrengths+MyHealth" survey, watch this short video https://tinyurl.com/MSMH-Video  
 Please use this link https://tinyurl.com/MSMH-Milwaukee to complete the survey. This information will be used to understand community strengths (assets) and needs during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  Burials practices are important to both religious and environmental groups. Talk to your family, religious leader, and funeral director about your final wishes.
