Considering the Parental Role at Sentencing Podcast

Children of Incarcerated Caregivers (CIC) is pleased to share with you and your colleagues our new, six episode Continuing Legal Education podcast series, created in partnership with the University of Minnesota Human Rights Program. The series, Considering the Parental Role at Sentencing, has been approved for four CLE credits in total. Episodes may also be watched individually and range from 0.5 to 1 credit.
In each episode, host Michael Holland, assistant Hennepin County public defender and CIC board member, interviews a different expert to explore how and why lawyers and judges working in the criminal legal system should consider the relationship between a caregiver and child before the caregiver’s sentencing hearing.

Minnesota Housing Finance Agency invites members of the community to apply to be community reviewers to help us score and recommend grantees for our 2022 Capacity Building Grant program. We have created this community reviewer opportunity because we are striving to create a grantmaking process that values, listens to, and acts on the input of community. The expertise, ideas, and input of people who have experienced housing challenges are especially important as we seek to select Capacity Building proposals that most closely represent the goals of this grant program. 

Who are we looking for?

  • 11 people who live in Minnesota and have experienced housing challenges, as defined by them
  • 5 people who worked on activities funded by the 2019 or 2020 Capacity Building Initiative Grant or 2021 Intermediary Capacity Building Grants

  5. Provide feedback of your experience as a Community Reviewer to Minnesota Housing’s grant program and evaluation staff.

We estimate that it will take about 20 to 23 hours during the months of July through early October to complete the activities identified above.  Please only apply if you can commit to participating in all of the activities.
