The legislation provides better strategic vision and improves coordination and effectiveness of existing U.S. global nutrition programs.

Touching the lives of 600,000 current beneficiaries, the decision also impacts thousands of young adults who were locked out while litigation has played out.<\/p>\n<p>The court sided with an earlier ruling by a judge finding that DACA violated the Administrative Procedure Act, but in light of a new regulation, which takes effect on October 31, they have returned the case to U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen for further consideration. The fifth circuit decision maintains the freeze on all new applications, but renewals can continue. &#8220;For the time being, this semblance of protection is significant to the hundreds of thousands who depend on it to maintain their jobs, carry on their studies, and support their families. But there\u2019s more to this decision. This is unresolved, leaving Congress with an unmistakable call to action. Congress should heed the call of advocates, amplified by DACA recipients and supporters across the political spectrum, to pass permanent protections now,&#8221; said Giovana Oaxaca, ELCA Program Director for Migration Policy.\u00a0Oaxaca will be among panelists at &#8220;Faith Voices Call: Citizenship For All,&#8221; a webinar hosted by the Interfaith Immigration Coalition on Thursday, October 27 at 8 p.m. ET.

Now, the \u2018direct pay\u2019 option means non-taxable entities can also benefit from these credits.\u201d Although incentives and monies will become available, reach and distribution specifics are unrolling. However, it is anticipated that churches will not experience up-front costs to participate in infrastructure updates; rather they will operate through participant agreements.
