Best Practices A practical newsletter for people ending homelessness. New Partnership Between CDC and Housing Providers May Provide Vaccine Access to Seniors in Affordable Housing The CDC's new "Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program for COVID-19 Vaccination" program provides end-to-end management of the COVID-19 vaccination process. While first priority will be given to health care workers, first responders, and vulnerable people in nursing homes and other congregant settings, seniors in affordable housing units could potentially be given higher priority to receive vaccines based on identified need. Filling out the form below indicates to the CDC that you, as a housing provider for seniors, are interested in potentially participating in this program when vaccines become available. The deadline to apply is November 6, 2020. Signing up is not a guarantee that your organization will be able to participate in the program, but indicates the volume of need to the CDC.  Learn more about the Pharmacy Partnership >>> Join the IRS for National EIP Registration Day The IRS is making a final push to get Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) to those who have not received it by having a National EIP Registration Day on November 10.
