The organizations of W.VA. declare large -scale backs, abbreviations due to Trump’s federal financing – WCHS

Following an enforcement order from the Trump administration, which aims to freeze federal loans and grants, organizations in Western Virginia began to scathing services or dismissal employees.

Of these agencies, the Appalachian Independent Life Center announced abbreviations of mass staff on Friday, in force immediately.

The organization that supports those in Western Virginia with disabilities in daily tasks while living in their homes said that 60% of its current staff would be released due to refusal to access federal funding, according to a message from the Agency.

Acil said his work will continue with a skeleton crew for the next two to three weeks, after which the organization will determine in its work, it can continue.

The message comes after President Donald Trump tried to freeze all the federal funding for an ideological review in an order signed on Monday. However, since Friday, two federal judges have blocked the order.

After the execution order was signed by Trump, there were mass reports on problems, including the Medicaid Payment Payment website, descending and throwing colleges and universities across the country in uncertainty because of many students who rely on grants to afford Training. Some organizations continue to have problems with access to federal funds.

“Despite the retirement on Tuesday night, the freezing of all federal payments for grants, the center did not receive the payment of federal funds through the federal payment management system,” the agency said. “The funds will not cover another period of payment for full staff, so the cuts were inevitable. If and when the funding is recovered, the dismissals will be canceled immediately and the services are restored. “

The agency has been working outside Charleston for 40 years, installing ramps and changing baths to be accessible to wheelchairs, transport the elderly and people with disabilities at meetings and training of people living alone with daily tasks such as budgeting and cooking.

Meanwhile, the Food and Farms Coalition in West Virginia, an organization that relies on education and work in a network to promote and strengthen strong agriculture in the country, announced on Friday that it would scale return operations due to uncertainty about the executive order.

“Federal funding allows us to provide basic resources in communities, support Western Virginia’s food and agriculture, provide technical assistance and grow economic capabilities to farmers and food entrepreneurs,” WVFFC said in a statement “Every dollar we receive , is invested directly in our country and we undergo strict annual audits to guarantee transparency and accountability. “

Although the freezing of the funding is temporarily blocked by the federal judges and the order for canceled order, the programs will probably continue to face an unclear future, as the Trump administration order is facing court disputes and supervision in the congress.
