Training Opportunities

Child Tax Credit Navigator Training for HOPWA, FVPSA and OTIP Grantees – Wednesday, September 22^nd 1:30-2:30pm EDT.

Join us for a navigator training on enrolling eligible families in the Child Tax Credit. 

HUD’s Office of HIV/AIDS Housing in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration of Children and Families’ (ACF) Division of Family Violence Prevention and Services (FVPSA) and the Office of Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) is joining with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the White House to provide a training for Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), FVPSA and OTIP grantees to learn how to help enroll eligible families in the Child Tax Credit.

Experts estimate the new Child Tax Credit has the potential to cut child poverty in half.  It provides the largest child tax credit ever and historic relief to most working families ($3,000 per child 6-17 years old and $3,600 per child under 6 years old).

This one-hour session will provide an overview of the Child Tax Credit and walk attendees through the Non-Filer Portal to show how you can help families enroll in this historic Child Tax Credit. For more information on the Child Tax Credit please visit – Child Tax Credit Update Portal | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)

Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the presenters.  While this training is targeted towards HOPWA, FVPSA and OTIP grantees, it is appropriate for any service provider who works with families who may be impacted by intimate personal violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence and human trafficking.

The Child Tax Credit Navigator Training will be held on Wednesday, September 22nd from 1:30-2:30pm EDT. 

Registration is required.  The maximum capacity is 1,000 attendees.

Please register here.

When registering, under Comments/Questions, you will need to indicate which grant you are associated with: HOPWA, FVPSA or OTIP.

Registrations cannot be confirmed without this information.
