ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an award is being made to the Welfare Information Network of Washington, DC in the amount of $75,000 for information dissemination activities on Welfare Reform. After the appropriate reviews, it has been determined that this proposal qualifies as a sole source award. Over the past three years, the Welfare Information Network (WIN) has been one of the leading nonprofit organizations in disseminating information and materials on Welfare Reform. The WIN network is a very unique organization in the Welfare Reform community. It has created a database on the cutting edge of Welfare to Work promising strategies through a synthesis of the latest research, site visits, and surveys of practitioners and service providers. The WIN organization has been an extremely valuable partner with the Office of Family Assistance in several clearinghouse and networking activities.

The period of this funding will extend through May 31, 2000.
