Jimiyu Evans, CEO of Project Community Connections Inc, woke up to find his federal funding account inaccessible due to maintenance amid a government freeze on grants. This funding, which is crucial for tackling homelessness, mental health, and substance abuse treatment in Georgia, is at risk as federal agencies evaluate programs based on ideological standards. Evans faces a significant risk with $180,000 pending in reimbursements while the future of his organization hangs in the balance as state reliance on federal funds grows amidst the uncertainty introduced by the administration's orders.
I've got $180,000 in reimbursements for the first 15 days of this month. At this point, I've got to address staff now about, you know, what's the plan.
The federal government was closed for business. Soon enough, his agency might be as well.
His organization has a couple of months in reserves that create a solvency risk if spent down.
Almost all the funding to fight homelessness in Georgia is federal.
