These are very complicated feelings, especially with young children who really can?t conceive of an idea like death. Divorce, separation, the loss of a pet and even the pandemic with its cancelled concerts, sporting events, proms and other opportunities to be with friends have made us look at loss in a new way. These feelings can have a major negative impact on kids? lives. *A live Real-World Parenting Q&A session about grief and mourning will be offered via Zoom on Thursday, April 28, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. *Karen Smothers, LSCSW, LCAC, will answer live questions from Q&A attendees as well as pre-submitted questions. The Real-World Parenting Q&A is *FREE*, but parents have to register to get the Zoom link. That?s also when they?ll have the chance to pre-submit a question for the Q&A. To register, visit *https://www.FSGCtopeka.com/parenting* and click the red ?Register Here.? Parents and guardians can also watch short, informational videos on grief and mourning every Thursday. Check them out at FSGC?s Facebook page ( *facebook.com/fsgctopeka* ) or *https://www.fsgctopeka.com/parenting-resources *. I?ve attached a jpg of this month?s flyer with all the details. Please share it in your communications (e-newsletters, emails, social media, etc.) with parents, community partners and others who might be interested and encourage them to join us! We also have information on our Facebook page ( facebook.com/fsgctopeka). The goal of Real-World Parenting is to pass along ideas and advice that parents can actually use to raise healthier, happier kids. If you have any questions about Real-World Parenting Conversations, feel free to e-mail or call Jim Williamson at (270.8907).

Topeka Metro has fully complied with all mask requirements during the pandemic and we are currently enforcing the *TSA directive *requiring proper wearing of face masks per federal law. As of April 13, 2022, *FACE MASKS are to be worn while on the bus and in Quincy Street station* *through MAY 3, 2022. *Failure to comply will result in denial of boarding or removal, and may result in penalties. *EFFECTIVE 9/7/21, *Topeka Metro will no longer be supplying masks to passengers, so all passengers must supply their own masks or they will not be allowed to ride. Topeka Metro will continue to monitor and implement safety protocols and recommendations as directed by the Governor, public health and transportation authorities, and local leaders to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, our customers, and our community. It is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could result in multiple Topeka Metro bus operators being unable to work at any given time. In the event that Topeka Metro were to experience a critical bus operator shortage, service reductions may become necessary. ? *LEA POR FAVOR: NOTIFICACI?N IMPORTANTE ACERCA DE COVID-19* La salud y la seguridad de la comunidad, nuestros pasajeros y los empleados de Topeka Metro son nuestra prioridad m?s importante.

El incumplimiento resultar? en la denegaci?n de abordaje o remoci?n del autob?s y puede resultar en una multa. *VIGENTE A PARTIR DE 7/SEPT/21* Topeka Metro ya no estar? proporcionando tapabocas a los pasajeros, as? que todos los pasajeros deben contar con sus propios tapabocas o no se les permitir? viajar en el autob?s. Topeka Metro continuar? monitoreando e implementando protocolos de seguridad y las recomendaciones de la Gobernadora, las autoridades de salud p?blica y de transporte y los l?deres locales para asegurar la seguridad y bienestar de nuestros empleados, nuestros clientes y nuestra comunidad. Es posible que la pandemia de COVID-19 ocasione que m?ltiples operadores de los autobuses no puedan trabajar en alg?n momento dado. En el evento de que Topeka Metro experimente una escasez cr?tica de operadores de autob?s, ser? necesario reducir los servicios. Keri Renner Director of Marketing & Communications Topeka Metro 201 N.

To: *Kansas Housing Launches Mortgage Relief Program * *Assistance supports homeowners facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic* Today, Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) launched the Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (KHAF) , providing mortgage and utility assistance to Kansas households impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. ?Since the beginning of the pandemic, we?ve provided more than *$190 million *in assistance to keep Kansans stably housed and connected to vital services,? said Ryan Vincent, Executive Director of Kansas Housing. ?We?re so pleased to extend that support to homeowners with KHAF. We know that the economic impact of the pandemic is far from over, and these dollars will be vital in ensuring Kansans can remain in their homes.? The KHAF program, supported through funding from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and administered by KHRC, will help qualifying Kansans get current on their mortgages and property taxes and avoid foreclosure. The KHAF program provides: ? Mortgage payments ? Property taxes and charges ? Utility, internet, and broadband fees ? And more To qualify for assistance, applicants must: ? Own their primary residence in Kansas; ? Provide valid proof of identification; ? Meet income guidelines; ? Be at risk of losing their home; and ? Experience a documented financial hardship during the COVID pandemic. Households earning up to 150 percent of their area?s median income are eligible to apply. For example, a family of four living in Lyon County could earn up to $97,650 to qualify for assistance. Eligible hardship must include a reduction in income or increase in living expenses associated with the pandemic. Applications are accepted online, and assistance is paid directly to the lender or service provider. Eligible homeowners may receive up to $35,000 in mortgage assistance and up to $10,000 in property charge and utility assistance. The KHAF program was developed in consultation with housing stakeholders and community members through a public feedback process . The program will operate until the state?s $56.6 million KHAF allocation is fully expended. Homeowners are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure that they receive assistance in a timely manner. Applicants may check the status of their application at any time by logging in to the KHAF portal. To learn more and apply, visit kshousingcorp.org .
