LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – The TFG Grants Division is pleased to welcome Jay De La Rosa as Grants Specialist. He brings extensive experience utilizing innovative technologies and programming solutions to support cities, counties, and states across the country to effectively manage grant portfolios.

On January 27, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under President Trump issued a memorandum titled “Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs.” The directive mandates Federal agencies to temporarily suspend the obligation and disbursement of federal financial assistance while conducting a comprehensive review of programs and awards to ensure alignment with the administration’s policies and priorities. As part of this review, agencies are also instructed to temporarily suspend the issuance of new program solicitations.
