TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR FAMILIES IN NEED
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) has made available funds from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) to provide assistance to families affected by COVID-19. This emergency assistance is designated to assist eligible families with essential needs during the current state of emergency.
Temporary funding through the Prevention, Retention, and Contingency (PRC) program will allow Cuyahoga Job and Family Services (CJFS) to provide emergency assistance to eligible families through a PRC voucher. While limited funding is available, COVID-19 PRC vouchers will provide assistance with additional food assistance, select essential supplies, and housing costs.
Please share the attached with your networks and assist your clients that are in need with applying for the COVID-19 PRC. Help us get the information into the community by posting the information on your social media and in community newsletters. Also, be mindful that the availability of the COVID-19 PRC is temporary and based on the quantity of applications received.
For questions about COVID-19 PRC vouchers call the PRC Information Line at (216) 987-7392 and leave a message. Please allow 48 hours for a response.

 NEAR WEST REC FALL VOLLEYBALL REGISTRATION OPEN
We would like to share updates with you all about our fall programs. We do feel that providing recreational activities for youth right now is important and we are going to do our best to provide opportunities in a safe way. With COVID numbers still high, safety is our number one priority. We want everyone to be safe and we do not want to help spread COVID.
This fall, programs and leagues will look a little different. A lot has to do with COVID guidelines and the fact that we are limited to the fields we can use because the City of Cleveland is not issuing out field permits. We are fortunate to have a great partnership with City Life Center and will be using their field and some other outdoor spaces this fall.
Because of all of this, Near West Recreation programs will be small groups/teams. Programs will be outside or virtual. We will provide hand sanitizer, clean equipment, and conduct health and temperature checks at each practice or session. Coaches and volunteers will wear mask.
Signs up will be going up soon for all programs. Soccer signs up start today! Since our numbers are limited, PLEASE only sign your child up if you intend to bring them.
3v3 Soccer
Outdoor Sand Volleyball:
Outdoor sand volleyball is open to kids ages 9 - 16. Our volleyball season will start on no earlier than September 19 and run no later than November 7. Season will be 6 weeks total. Exact dates are being worked out. This year, the focus of our volleyball league will be on skill development. Groups will go through skill building activities for the first half of the session and then will play mini scrimmages the second half. Sessions are tentatively planned for 1-hour and 15 minute time slots Saturday mornings between 9:30 am - 12:00 pm, and/or Monday evenings.
NWR P.E. Sessions:
Near West Recreation will be organizing small group (less than 8) P.E. sessions for kids in grades K-8 weekdays during the late afternoon and early evenings in the fall. Kids can come out and play low-contact sports (soccer, tennis, baseball, floor hockey, running, etc.) for an hour with other kids. There is no weekly commitments. You will just sign up for the date and time you want your child to participate.
Sign-Ups coming soon!
Online Tutor/Homework Help: This will be a new program for us, but we are hoping to connect kids that may need some extra help or tutoring with NWR parents and local residents. More info to come.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns at nearwestrec@ohiocity.org.
Thank you all,
Keri Palma - Director of Youth and Family Services

TREMONT WEST OFFICE COVID-19 POLICY UPDATE
Board Resolution passed 7.16.2020 - Due to the continued prevalence of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and emerging recommendations from health care providers and government agencies around best prevention measures and social distancing, Tremont West Development Corporation is hosting its Board of Directors meetings and all Tremont West Committee meetings on the Zoom platform until further notice. We urge all block clubs to consider doing the same and to work with Tremont West organizers to facilitate setting up Zoom meetings. Staff from Tremont West will continue to help facilitate meetings by assisting in creating the agenda, sending out postcards and providing materials. If block clubs host in-person meetings, we advise to host outdoors if at all possible while maintaining social distancing and face mask protocols.
Additionally, we will continue to ask that developers present plans to the block club and the Economic Development Committee. However, due to the City of Cleveland hosting their public review online, we do not believe we can successfully require in-person meetings. Tremont West will work with block club chairs to ensure that members have access to materials and can have a presentation provided. We remain committed to the review process we have worked to establish over many years.
