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. This partnership with the WIN Organization has 
proven to be invaluable to States and communities in obtaining the 
information, policy analysis, and technical assistance they need to 
develop and implement changes that have helped to reduce dependency and 
promote the well-being of children and families. The period of this 
funding will extend through May 31, 2000.
