One award of up to $800,000 will be made to provide technical assistance to the three network sites selected under this solicitation and the six existing Wraparound Legal Assistance sites. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher learning, or public agencies. Those applying are urged to begin in advance of the June 9, 2014, deadline.
