Literacy for Life faces 20% budget cut from lost federal funding

LITERACY FOR LIFE LOSES FEDERAL FUNDING

Local nonprofit Literacy for Life is concerned about losing federal grant funding.
This funding provides 20% ($240,000) of their annual budget.
Literacy for Life offers adult literacy services like reading, writing, math, and English.
They serve about 1,100 people across the peninsula, many of whom are English language learners.
Federal funding primarily supported English language learners and built staff capacity.
Losing the funds will reduce their capacity and the number of people they can serve.
These skills are vital for learners to secure living wage jobs and benefit the community.
The current federal budget proposes entirely cutting adult education funding.
