This is a great time for organizations to look back at what they have accomplished throughout the year and prepare to enter the next year in position to have another successful year!

On March 20, 2021, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a Memorandum (M-21-20), Promoting Public Trust in the Federal Government through Effective Implementation of the American Rescue Plan Act and Stewardship of the Taxpayer Resources, that included information about how agencies should apply certain flexibilities provided in Appendix 3, Disaster Relief Flexibilities to Reduce Burden for Financial Assistance, as well as other flexibilities as permitted by law. The purpose of these flexibilities is to identify synergies across programs and agencies that alleviate burden for recipients.
