HUD’s Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPS), the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the White House are hosting a training on Friday, September 24, 2021 from 12:00 – 1:00 PM EDT. This training will help Continuum of Care (CoC) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program grantees learn how to help eligible families enroll 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 provides historic relief to most working families ($3,000 per child between 6-17 years old and $3,600 per child under six years old).

For more information on the Child Tax Credit please visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Child Tax Credit Update Portal.

Training Objectives

This training will:

• Provide an overview of the Child Tax Credit
• Walk through the Non-Filer Portal to demonstrate how participants can help families enroll in this historic Child Tax Credit

Who Should Attend?

This training is intended for any service provider who works with families eligible for or currently receiving CoC and ESG funded housing and services.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
