October 21st at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom
Register today: https://mailchi.mp/domesticviolenceresourcecenter/virtual-community-forum-on-domestic-violence
WHO is the Virtual Forum for:
Domestic violence is prevalent in every community, and affects all people regardless of age, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. Domestic violence is a community issue therefore; we encourage everyone to register for this informational Virtual Forum. Increasing communities understanding about the issue of domestic violence is one way we can help eliminate the stereotypes, common misconceptions, and save lives.
WHY is the Virtual Forum needed:
Domestic violence is a very complex issue, especially during times of crisis like the Coronavirus pandemic. Domestic violence is a part of a systemic pattern of power and control and unfortunately, this systemic pattern can create barriers for victims like economic insecurity, housing inaccessibility, medical and legal challenges. Fortunately, this Virtual Forum will feature experts from the community who will address the intersecting issues that victims face including the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as provide an overview of the enhanced safety and support offered to victims with the intent to help them on their path toward self-sufficiency.
Forum Panelists:
  • Aaron Ford, Nevada Attorney General
  • Darin Balaam, Washoe County Sheriff
  • Ross Armstrong, Administrator, Nevada Division of Child and Family Services
  • Sue Meuschke, Executive Director, Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence
  • Denise Yoxsimer, Executive Director, Domestic Violence Resource Center
HOW will your participation impact the Domestic Violence Resource Center?:
You are the key to helping make sure that victims know the resources available and get out of an abusive situation before it’s too late. In addition to spreading awareness you can support the organization by making a financial contribution which will help us address a major decrease in vital grant funding and an increase in the number of requests for support. Revenue from this Virtual Forum will support the purchase of motel nights for individuals in immediate danger, meals, transportation assistance, and more- all needed as families strive to transition from victim to survivor.

Goodwill® of the Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada deploys a new platform to bring Reno locations online
  
Goodwill® has partnered with a small, Sacramento-based Startup, Nytch, to bring its unconventional inventory to online shoppers SACRAMENTO, CA September 17, 2020 -- Goodwill® of the Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada partnered with Sacramento-based Nytch to connect its unconventional inventory to local, online shoppers on demand.  Currently live in Sacramento, Goodwill is bringing Nytch to Reno beginning on September 30.  Traditionally, Goodwill’s inventory has been extremely challenging to place online due to its volume, price point, and distribution across dozens of retail locations and donation centers. However, Goodwill staff worked diligently to adapt the Nytch app, a unique mobile commerce platform built for small businesses, to the Goodwill retail model.  Through the Nytch app, which has been live at several of Goodwill’s stores in Sacramento and Chico for the past two months, shoppers can submit requests for items they seek, receive recommendations from the employees at locations that have those items, and then purchase or ask to hold those items in store.  Employees digitize offline inventory items at the precise moment shoppers want them.   In a segment appearing on ​KCRA news​, reporter Kristen Simoes described the partnership as “a modern step for a timeless company finding new ways to serve their community.”  “It’s really interesting because we’ve never had anything like this, I feel like we’re finally coming into the 21st century.” Said Andrea Choe, Vice President of Retail Operations for Goodwill of the Sacramento Valley and Northern Nevada. The partnership comes at a time when online shopping and secondhand items are more popular than ever amongst shoppers. For vulnerable shoppers concerned about safety, Goodwill and Nytch can facilitate curbside pickup through the application and ask that shoppers explain that desire in their requests.  
 Goodwill’s mission is to provide critically needed employment and training services to the community. In this time of uncertainty, those services are more critical than ever. More information on this partnership is available at ​www.nytch.me/goodwill​.  Nytch​, a free platform for shoppers and businesses, is an alternative mobile commerce approach that emphasizes the best assets of small businesses.  Additional information can be found at the company’s website and businesses interested in partnering with Goodwill in this effort to support local retail can contact Elizabeth Eidanizadeh using the information above

​The first USDA Business and Industry CARES Act loan, intended to protect America’s small farms amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, went to an aquaculture farm in Iowa and was brokered by Carson City-based Greater Nevada Credit Union (GNCU). These CARES Act loans provide working capital to help rural businesses prevent, prepare for or respond to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
 
Joe Sweeney, owner and operator of Eagle’s Catch, and his team raise high-quality tilapia in the small town of Ellsworth, Iowa – population 499. Joe and many other of America’s small-town farmers are a cornerstone to the nation’s economy and food systems, but they certainly weren’t immune to challenges brought on by the pandemic. The collapse of America’s small farms could lead to food insecurity for many Americans, making it crucial to protect these businesses financially.
 
“Securing this $2.3 million loan will allow Eagle’s Catch to continue thriving despite challenges brought about by COVID-19,” Sweeney said. “We had heard that Greater Commercial Lending was one of the top resources in the nation for these types of loans. The GCL team worked with us to ensure we had the best chance of receiving this loan and protecting our business so that Eagle's Catch can continue to provide safe, fresh, and sustainable seafood to American families through engaging rural communities."
 
"Eagle's Catch is a perfect example of how Iowans are working with stakeholders nationwide to spur great opportunities for investment, job creation and agricultural diversification in our state,” said Mike Naig, Iowa secretary of agriculture. “Joe and his Eagle's Catch team are going to make waves by reducing U.S. dependency on Chinese seafood and growing a new sustainable protein right here in Iowa."
 
Greater Nevada Credit Union and its commercial subsidiary, Greater Commercial Lending (GCL), are leaders in the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (SBA PPP) and CARES Act loan brokerage for businesses in Nevada and beyond. GNCU and GCL closed 5,901 SBA PPP loans totaling $583 million. That included over 2,100 loans to Nevada-based companies for more than $137 million funding 17,296 jobs.
 
“This is an unprecedented time of need for businesses across the country,” said Jeremy Gilpin, executive vice president of GCL. “Through CARES Act programs, we are able to help save jobs and create new ones in rural America, by helping companies access capital during these challenging times.”

With historically low rates, Home At Last™, a program of the Nevada Rural Housing Authority, is here to help buyers start building equity in a home of their own (not to mention that ah-mazing feeling of being a homeowner!). Home At Last™ (HAL for short) can provide homebuyers up to $25,000 (up to 5% of the loan amount) in Down Payment Assistance There is NO first-time homebuyer requirement, NO asset limits, NO purchase price limits and it’s OK to own other property. For buyers seeking a low rate without assistance, we also offer the 0% assistance option with a below market interest rate!

HAL programs are available in communities with populations under 150,000. Visit HALMap.org to verify a property’s eligibility. You can also check out our Northern Nevada Eligible New Home Communities list here.

Ready to learn more? You’ll first want to enroll at Home At Last University™ (yes, it’s a real thing). Except our university doesn’t come with tuition — instead, you’ll learn a lot about the homebuying process for free. Whether you’re buying a home or helping a client fulfill their dreams of homeownership, education and training are keys to your success. Home At Last™ University, or “HAL U” as the cool kids say, is the one-stop-shop for all things training related to our homeownership programs. Visit HomeAtLastEducation.org to get started.

If you don’t have the 30-40 minutes to spare right now (that’s about how long our 101 courses take), that’s AOK — just bookmark the page and come back when you’re ready. But you can (and should!) take a quick peek at these crazy-low rates. Like, um, 2.750% on a FHA, VA or USDA loan (as of 6/25/2020). You can check our daily rates here.

And if you’re ready to rock and want to talk to an agent or lender today, who are we to say no?! We’ve got a handy-dandy search tool that will point you to all-star, HAL-proficient, partners in your area.

Need another reason to get HAL? The HAL MCC provides a tax credit of 20% of the mortgage interest paid, every year for the life of the loan — we’re talking 30 years of big-time savings. Now, that’s powerful. Learn more about the MCC here.

​We proudly work with employers and businesses across Nevada to help their employees and teams get HAL. Interested in a tailored training, presentation or materials for your organization? Email us at HAL@NVRural.org – we’d be happy to plan with you.Let’s get your clients, your teams and you HAL!

Flagging for you an announcement by Bank of America to commit $1 Billion in support to help local communities address economic and racial inequality accelerated by the pandemic, with an aim to assist people and communities of color that have experienced a greater impact from the health crisis.
“The events of the past week have created a sense of true urgency that has arisen across our nation, particularly in view of the racial injustices we have seen in the communities where we work and live," said Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan. 
The new commitment builds on economic mobility and workforce development programs Bank of America already invests in Northern Nevada, but will enhance the focus of that work and accelerate the resources towards healthcare, jobs/reskilling, small business support, and housing.  
“This new multi-year commitment builds on the important work we’ve been doing to assist disenfranchised communities throughout Northern Nevada, ranging from hiring more local bilingual entry-level bankers from Reno’s economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, increasing community health services through Northern Nevada HOPES and helping our local food bank expand nutrition and SNAP programs, to work with social justice programs like Western Nevada College’s career training and continuing education work with incarcerated individuals,” said Andrew Diedrichsen, Reno market president, Bank of America. “And while we recently directed $200,000 to local Coronavirus relief efforts, more can be done. We are committed to doing more to improve economic opportunity and racial equality, with the ultimate goal of creating lasting change.
PurTeq is an American made product (made in Texas). It is a two-step process that sanitizes surfaces (both hard and fabric) and then provides a 90-day guaranteed surface protection. When searching for a sanitizing product, we wanted something that you wouldn't have to apply again every time someone touched the surface. We also wanted to make sure that the product has legitimate documentation showing that it works on viruses and is safe (non-toxic) to use. That's how we ended up finding PurTeq. We are currently applying this product to all pre-owned vehicles at Michael Hohl GMC.

We are able to print small format Sanitary Signage that is isopropyl alcohol wipeable. From Repositionable Vinyl Signage that can be moved again and again, and will stick to almost anything without leaving a residue, to durable synthetic substrates that are also isopropyl alcohol wipeable for things that must be handled more than once, we can help in a number of ways.
My name is Regina Lockwood, ​I am a realtor and I am trying hard at the moment to keep my name top-of-mind during this challenging time.  To that end, I sponsor the hand sanitizer stands at the Safeway store at 5150 Mae Anne Avenue in Reno and recently conducted a contest asking my Facebook friends to send me a picture of themselves using the hand wipes.  The idea, of course, is to help stop the spread of the virus while marketing myself at the same time.  The contest is open to anyone and creative photos are encouraged!
