Identify a problem in society that could be addressed through a partnership between a nonprofit and a government. Why is it appropriate to address this problem with a partnership? Could this problem be addressed by one or the other? Explain why.
A problem in society could be address through a partnership between nonprofit and a government is the
high rent that many renters could not afford. The situation is worse after twenty-two months of the whole world shut down of the COVID-19 crisis. The crisis underscores the urgent need to get Emergency
Rental Assistance (ERA) to those at risk. The US Department of the Treasury is the federal administrator for two ERA programs: ERA1 provides up to $25 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, and ERA2 provides up to $21.55 billion under the American Rescue Plan Act. But some states and localities have been slow to administer assistance. The strategic partnerships with community-based organizations (CBOs) have been critically important to the success of ERA programs, helping jurisdictions
expand capacity through community outreach and application intake and processing. King-Viehland and
Schlenker mentioned in their article that in North Carolina, local nonprofits and CBOs are helping jurisdictions reach more residents and process more applications. The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg
County partnered with DreamKey Partners, a local CBO committed “to helping families see what is possible with an affordable home,” to provide emergency relief to those affected by COVID-19.

Hi Keith, thank you for your sharing. It is interesting about renewable energy. Yes, we, United States has to be strong independently in order to control ourselves with technology. Especially with the opposite’s side of political position, China appeared to overpower in many ways to support and announce its Communist status.
