The purposes of this chapter are—
(1) to provide assistance to States and local communities, working through a network of community action agencies and other neighborhood-based organizations, for the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income communities, and the empowerment of low-income families and individuals in rural and urban areas to become fully self-sufficient (particularly families who are attempting to transition off a State program carried out under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act ([42 U.S.C. 601](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section601&num=0&edition=prelim) et seq.)); and
(2) to accomplish the goals described in paragraph (1) through—

(D) the maximum participation of residents of the low-income communities and members of the groups served by programs assisted through the block grants made under this chapter to empower such residents and members to respond to the unique problems and needs within their communities; and

education system’s failure to provide in-person learn-
ing options.
Students whose families pay tuition for their edu-
cation are also facing significant hardships due to the
economic disruptions caused by the pandemic. Scores
of private schools, including approximately 100 Catho-
lic schools, have permanently closed since the onset of
COVID–19, and more than half of our Nation’s private
schools are believed to have lost enrollment due to the
pandemic. These closures and declining enrollments are
harmful to students, bad for communities, and likely to
impose increased strain on public school systems.
I am committed to ensuring that all children of our
great Nation have access to the educational resources
they need to obtain a high-quality education and to im-
proving students’ safety and well-being, including by
empowering families with emergency learning scholar-
ships.
SEC. 2. Providing Emergency Learning Scholarships for
Students. The Secretary of Health and Human Services
shall take steps, consistent with law, to allow funds
available through the Community Services Block
Grant program to be used by grantees and eligible enti-
ties to provide emergency learning scholarships to dis-
advantaged families for use by any child without access
to in-person learning. These scholarships may be used
for:
(i) tuition and fees for a private or parochial school;
(ii) homeschool, microschool, or learning-pod costs;
(iii) special education and related services, including
therapies; or
(iv) tutoring or remedial education.

shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
