Food Insecurity. Is this information getting out in all languages? USDA Discrimination Claims. Section 22007 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)

A compensation system has been structured.  Is it effective?

Considerations:
 
1.  Each layer for the several types of entities\organizations contracted to administrator this program as a nonprofit, or private sector entity:
     a.   National Administrator,
     b.   Four regional hubs,
     c.   Organizational subcontractors,
     d.   Cooperators,

      as a layer of funding.  

2.  Fiscal agent or fiscal sponsorship role for many of those filing for compensation?

3.  Of 100%, 10% (National Administrator) deducted, 10% (Regional Hubs), 10% Organizational subcontractors, 10% Coooperators from the top-down have deducted possible 40% from the total budgeted with a REMAINDER of 60% for those filing for compensation.

Interesting figures.

Section 22007 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)

The Act requires USDA to contract with nongovernmental program administrators to coordinate the delivery of a national program of financial assistance to impacted farmers, ranchers, or forest landowners. The Department has begun the contracting process.

The program will involve several types of entities/organizations:

  • national administrator to oversee the program; this entity will contract with USDA.
  • Four regional hubs to provide outreach and technical assistance within their regions and process applications for financial assistance consistently and efficiently. These entities will contract with USDA.
  • Organizational subcontractors: the regional hub vendors are strongly encouraged to partner/subcontract with organizations with experience in agriculture, that work with and represent producers and that have a relationship with USDA. These partners/subcontractors may conduct outreach and assist potential applicants with the financial assistance application process.
  • Cooperators to conduct outreach and ensure potential applicants are informed about the program and have the opportunity to apply.
