In this economic climate, there is a necessity to work collaboratively to create strong, sustainable and inclusive communities. Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs.

HR Webinar: Employee vs. Contractor: Changes That Will Impact All EmployersAscentis
Although the pandemic-related recession had a brief downward impact on gig workers overall, the trend is clear: being your own boss is a concept gaining popularity at an impressive rate. The overall number of Americans classifying themselves as freelancers rose from 53 million to 59 million from 2014 to 2020. And even the core classification of self-employed individuals (incorporated or not) has risen by 17 percent in just one year – from 8.221 million in April, 2020, to 9.651 million in April, 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The rapid growth in the ranks of independent contractors has naturally spurred greater interest in the regulations surrounding worker classification – both in terms of the loss of benefits and protections for those leaving traditional employment, and the potential for abuse of the worker classification process by employers.
During the last year, the states have been brewing up their own changes in employment classification laws, led by California’s AB 5, which was passed, then repealed and replaced with AB 2257. At the federal level, with the transition to single-party control in the House, Senate (barely) and Presidency, the Protecting the Right to Organize (“PRO”) Act (H.R. 842) is making its way through Congress, and may even find a home inside the massive infrastructure bill now being debated on Capitol Hill. The PRO Act, as currently written, would include the most comprehensive amendment to the terms “employee,” “employer,” and “supervisor,” since the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 became law.
So how will all of these convergent changes settle out? And most importantly, how can employers plan for the expected changes on this contentious topic?
SMART CHOICES
Make better use of data to drive accountability, inform what programs are offered and what is taught, and offer user-friendly information for job seekers to choose programs and pathways that work for them and are likely to result in jobs. In order to determine what skills should be taught and to guide job seekers as they choose what to study and where to apply for jobs, programs should make better use of data to understand current and projected local, regional, state, and national labor markets. These data may include information on the number and types of jobs available; projected regional job growth; and specific job characteristics, skills requirements, and career opportunities. These data should be publicly available and easily accessible by job seekers.

Social Entrepreneurship: Mobilizing, Innovating, and Collaborating for Social...Illinois ResourceNet
Betsy Goulet, Adjunct Faculty and Doctoral Student, University of Illinois, Springfield, will discuss the importance of collabora-tion amid the new reality of shrinking budgets where agencies, nonprofits and social service programs are being forced to do more with less. She will share information about the role of social entrepreneurship as an innovative strategy for social change in the development of partnerships among nonprofits, government, universities and corporations.
Anne H. Silvis, University of Illinois Extension Specialist in Leadership Development and Director of the Laboratory for Community and Economic Development, will describe practices that build collaboration at the community level and how
collaborative efforts foster improved outcomes for individuals,
organizations and communities. This plenary session will offer
participants a chance to explore concepts and strategies with
one another in small groups.
The decennial census determines the allocation of hundreds of billions of federal program dollars. Federal agencies and private entities use data on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, age, and disability to determine where disparities exist and where community groups could assist. This workshop brings together professionals working to collect data for the census to discuss recently analyzed data with community groups searching for information to support program objectives and goals.
Pre‐planning and preparation help increase the competitiveness of an organization’s application.
Illinois ResourceNet TA providers work with organizations to prepare for future funding opportunities
by creating a two‐year timeline of expected release dates of Federal grant programs relevant to the
organization or collaborations working with IRN. Illinois ResourceNet develops a plan‐of‐action for
groups to identify grants that match the needs of the organization. TA providers will also locate future
funding for existing programs and potential new programs, and examine the resources offered by
Federal Agencies. In addition, the IRN TA provider will review proposals to ensure that the
organization meets the eligibility requirements, and has the necessary management and programmatic
capacity.
Writing a federal proposal is a multi-step process with every tier requiring an equal level of intense consideration. The federal budget piece is probably the most detailed and specific item on the federal proposal to-do list. Illinois ResourceNet’s face-to-face workshop will tackle the topic of federal budgets and help attendees sort through this daunting section of the federal proposal. In addition, this session describes the principles used in developing a budget narrative.
Illinois ResourceNet’s instructor will explain the importance of managing your organization’s finances to improve your success in applying for a federal grant.
Attendees will walk away knowing how to plan and monitor financial activity, while establishing a solid line of communication between program staff and budgeting staff. This course helps to prepare organizations to manage the detailed federal budget section of their proposals.
Presenters: Deborah Minor‐Harvey & James Pfluecke, IRN Technical Assistance Providers
This workshop will identify best practices in federal grant proposal project management including developing a work plan and your work team. Participants will learn about the organizational capacity needed to successfully complete a federal grant proposal, how to assess and document your community's needs, and how to develop a time line for the successful completion of all aspects of the proposal.
Illinois ResourceNet’s offers a workshop to help introduce nonprofit organizations to the principles of collaboration, the nature and type of collaborative and what it takes to work together in a sustainable manner. In particular, collaboratives play a vital role in Illinois ResourceNet’s commitment to building capacity in the nonprofit sector in Illinois to facilitate stronger federal grant development and submissions.
Lauri Alpern, an Illinois ResourceNet technical assistance provider will lead the workshop and will guide participants through the process of partnership development and completion of tasks in a group setting.
Census data can provide a unique picture of local communities, by providing information on indicators such as household income levels, the age and education-level of a population, the race and ethnic makeup of a community and how a population has changed over time. This type of information is particularly useful when trying to write a grant proposal to demonstrate the need for resources within a community, or when trying to assess the needs and issues of a community. This session will explain how to access census information and use it to create maps and graphics to visualize the information being written about in proposal submissions.
Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs. Federal grants are available for communities with an integrated vision for connecting economic development, community development, and environmental protection to create greater livability. This session will explain why comprehensive community planning should be an integral part of the federal funding process to help facilitate the continuous development of proposals.

Participants will learn about the organizational capacity needed to successfully complete a federal grant proposal, how to assess and document your community's needs, and how to develop a time line for the successful completion of all aspects of the proposal.
Proposal success is cumulative, especially when carried out in collaborative networks where data can be shared, partnerships can be forged, learning can take place, different program areas can be linked, and diverse resources can be leveraged. This session gives practical hands-on training on how to engage in a continuous proposal building process including utilizing the catalogue of federal assistance, grants.gov and planning documents to anticipate and prepare for potential opportunities.
“Planning for Future Funding: How to create a community comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind”
Thinking about federal grants when developing a comprehensive plan for your community can help you get a head start on successfully applying, submitting and receiving federal funding.
Detailed comprehensive plans and federal funding grants need some of the same elements to thrive. Writing about the vision for investing in a community’s empty brownfields, affordable housing and economic development needs, and health issues can serve as a platform in applying for federal grants. These aspirations, when effectively written and documented, can be used as the basis for grant applications. If a community identifies its needs as part of the planning process, it can, as part of a continuous proposal building process, pinpoint which grants will help meet those needs.
Federal grants are available for communities with an integrated vision for connecting economic development, community development, and environmental protection to create greater livability.
Illinois ResourceNet (IRN) and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMPA) are working together on a series of free webinars to help communities strengthen their capacity to apply successfully for available federal funding opportunities.
In this webinar, “Planning for Funding: How to create a comprehensive plan with federal funding in mind,” Deborah Orr, EPA Region 5 Brownfields Coordinator, will moderate the session and explain why comprehensive community planning should be an integral part of the federal funding process.
Michael McAfee, Community Planning and Development Representative with HUD's Chicago office, will demonstrate how to use a comprehensive plan and the sustainable practices built into it to facilitate the continuous development of federal funding proposals.
Susan Kaplan, technical assistance provider for Illinois ResourceNet at the University of Illinois, will offer examples of how a community plan can be used to help identify relevant federal grant opportunities and develop persuasive grant applications.

Editor's Notes
Want to point out our network of regional staff people on the ground, throughout the state. You can find their names and contact information online at www.ildceo.net. They are an excellent first step when you are looking for state support, they can help you navigate the options available to you.
Along with the new revenue, state government must also be cut. DCEO’s proposed operational budget reflects the state's budget situation, as our budget is actually down over 16.0%. This includes the loss of the one-time federal stimulus infusion. We’ve reviewed our services and have prioritized what works, and we’re actually growing in areas that have proven track records of helping business to create jobs, and workers to fill those jobs.
We have Two Goals with this program.There are two basic parts to the program:Based on review of a written application, DCEO will register qualified, Illinois businesses. DCEO will then post these eligible businesses on our web site.Businesses or individuals investing in one of the qualified businesses will submit an application to DCEO requesting their tax credit.
Now, no job created by a company for this credit is considered ineligible; however, there are some employee classifications you may NOT utilize to fill the position: including temps or any variation, partners, independent contractors, someone employed by the company the first half of 2010 (if they were employed a few years ago you can hire them for a brand new position created after July 1 and apply for the credit) – or any individual who has direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 5% in the profits, capital or value of the business. (The base livable wage does not include benefits)For businesses hiring through the “Put Illinois to Work” expansion, the position CAN be filled by someone who previously worked for the applicant’s business under the “Put Illinois to Work” program.

-Green Sector: To train workers for green economy, Illinois won a $6M in State Energy Sector Partnership (SESP) grant from USDOL. Combines with $1M in ARRA state innovation funds, DCEO partners are training 5,400 low-skilled adults, dislocated or incumbent workers in efficiency and renewable energy jobs.-Healthcare Sector: $7.7M investment to address shortages in the medical field at various stages of the pipeline, by supporting more than 25 public/private healthcare projects statewide.-Manufacturing Sector: $3M toward reversing regional skills shortfalls in machining and other metal working occupations for 2800+ incumbent workers-Transportation/Distribution/Logistics (TDL): Providing low-skilled adults with an entry level employment opportunity, and incumbent workers with the ability to upgrade their skills
It should be noted that WIA services are being threatened at the federal level. The FY 11 budget was cut and we are working to mitigate expected cuts in the FY12 budget that will threaten services across the state.
Some of our trade missions involve trade show participation while others include matchmaking appointments and meetings.
I’ve already mentioned Illinois’ trade numbers have increased by 20% over last year, so we’re well on our way to meeting President Obama’s and Governor Quinn’s goal of doubling exports by 2015.
I'll just mention a few agreements announced over the last two years. Illinois was the only state outside of Washington DC that the Chinese delegation visited earlier this year. China signed agreements with companies like Boeing, Caterpillar and Motorola; as well as Illinois soy farmers. We are also working with South Korea on smart grid technology development and signed an agreement with Senegal for agriculture. Plans are in the works to bring Illinois products to Brazil, India and Australia.
The Governor announced in his budget speech that we are reorganizing the foreign trade offices to make them more responsive to shifting markets. To double our exports by 2015, we will also need to work more closely with our small and mid-sized businesses to bring them to trade. We've given more Illinois Small Business Development Centers the designation of International Trade Center, now 11 locations throughout the state in all, to provide one-on-one advice for first and second stage businesses wanted to expand overseas. And we're also increasing our international trade marketing efforts in FY12 – because we recognize the importance of the global marketplace.

At risk of not being funded federally.For many Illinois households, energy costs place a severe and continuing stress on a family’s budget. In some instances, the household is forced to make painful decisions regarding which bills to pay and which necessities to survive without. The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is designed to help eligible low income households pay for winter energy service. If your household’s combined income for the 30 days prior to application is at or below 150% of the federal poverty level as shown in the chart below, you may be eligible to receive assistance. If you rent, and your heat and/or electric is included in the rent, your rent must be greater than 30% of your income in order to be eligible to receive assistance.
