Lt. Governor’s Excellence in Affordable Housing Award: Rural Development

0

Each year at the Indiana Housing Conference, we present the Lt. Governor’s Excellence in Affordable Housing Awards. The Rural Development Award recognizes a development located within the corporate limits of a city or town with a population less than 14,999, or in an unincorporated area of a county that is located beyond 2 miles of the city or town’s jurisdiction.

This year’s Outstanding Rural Development is Enterprise Pointe, located in Angola, Indiana. In addition to the creation of affordable housing, one of the focal points of Enterprise Pointe was to retain recent graduates of Trine University. It was decided that affordable housing with a preference for artists and entrepreneurs would be a great way to accomplish this. Brightpoint’s assistance to small business owners combined with its work to further the provision of affordable housing are playing a major role in this, using their Development Fund to serve tenants with access to business development assistance and SBA microloans.

The units and common spaces are also built to accommodate business services, with conference rooms and private offices available, and in-unit working areas plus free dedicated wi-fi service provided to each unit. Tenants will also benefit long-term, as Enterprise Pointe is committed to remaining affordable for the next 45 years.

Sen. Braun introduces legislation to prioritize evidence-based workforce programs

0

WASHINGTON—Today, Senator Mike Braun introduced the Prioritizing Evidence for Workforce Development Act to prioritize the funding of evidence-based education and workforce programs. Workforce programs with proven outcomes are essential to filling the over 11 million job openings in the United States.

“Workforce shortages are a big problem for Hoosiers businesses when I travel across the state. The best solution for this issue lies in effective, evidence-based education and workforce development programs to prepare Americans to fill these jobs and close the skills gap. This legislation will ensure that evidence-based workforce programs are prioritized across the nation.” — Senator Braun

“We applaud and appreciate Senator Braun for introducing this common-sense change to our adult education system. Prioritizing improvements based on evidence will help students and families achieve economic prosperity. As a provider of adult education through Adult High Schools, we welcome the increased emphasis on ensuring that our programs are serving our clients well.”—Betsy Delgado, SVP of the Goodwill Excel Center National Office

BACKGROUND

 

  • In 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law to help Americans gain the skills they need and connect them with employers who need to fill high-quality jobs.
  • Under WIOA, states are required to submit a unified State plan that outlines a strategy for “preparing an educated and skilled workforce” to the Secretary of Labor.
  • The Prioritizing Evidence for Workforce Development Act amends WIOA by requiring State plans to include a description of how the state will prioritize the funding of evidence-based education and workforce programs

 

Vincennes closes out tough Region 24 week with road sweep at Lake Land College

0

MATTOON, Ill. – The Vincennes University Trailblazer volleyball team closed out a tough week of games Friday night with their third Region 24 victory in just four day beating host Lake Land 25-20, 25-16, 25-21.

VU closed out the week with three Region 24 victories, putting their season record at 8-0 in Region 24 play and extending their Region 24 winning streak to 20 matches.

Set one began as a battle. The Lakers were playing shorthanded and that caused the Blazers to have to adjust on the fly.

Vincennes did take control of the set with a 9-2 scoring run and held off host Lake Land to grab set one 25-20.

VU continued this hot start into set two, scoring seven of the first eight points of the set and taking a nine-point lead at 17-8.

The Trailblazers would hold on to this lead to take set two 25-16 and take a commanding 2-0 match lead.

Vincennes used a 6-0 scoring run in set three to take a 16-6 lead at the midway point, which allowed Head Coach Gary Sien to empty his bench and get all of his players some time on the court.

Lake Land looked to mount a comeback and did manage to chip away at the lead, but VU ultimately held out and took set three 25-21 and completed the sweep.

“I said before the game that (Lake Land missing players) was the worst thing that could happen to us,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “I think our team is better off playing against a full team. There were a few times where we just let up and the ending of the third set was a little touch-and-go for a second.”

Eagles sweep Lions to capture first Division I win

USI defeats Lindenwood, 3-0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Volleyball (1-14, 1-3 OVC) snapped its 14-game winless streak Friday night at Screaming Eagles Arena after defeating Lindenwood University (3-9, 0-3 OVC), 3-0 (25-20, 25-17, 25-22). The Screaming Eagles earned their first NCAA Division I and Ohio Valley Conference victory in program history.
 
USI kicked off the opening frame with a 9-0 run to lift the Eagles to a 25-20 win. The opening rally contained three service aces from sophomore outside/right side hitter Evie Duncan (Evansville, Indiana) to help put USI up by nine. Despite the Lions’ efforts to stop the Eagles’ surge, USI tallied four straight points off four Lindenwood attack errors to expand the lead to 13-1. The Lions did not give up and would go on a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to six. Lindenwood would score eight of the final 15 points but to no avail as USI took home the opening set. Neither side had much offensive success as the Eagles finished with eight kills and seven errors while the Lions tallied nine kills and eight errors.
 
The Eagles stifled the Lions in the second set, earning a 25-17 victory and a 2-0 match lead. A kill from Duncan gave USI the first point of the set before Lindenwood scored the next three. Kills from Duncan and junior outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) pushed the Eagles back into the lead, 4-3. Back-and-forth action between the two clubs ran up the score before USI went on a game-sealing 11-3 run to earn the win. The Eagles’ offense played their best in the second set, earning 13 kills and finishing with just one attack error. This was the first time this season that USI won back-to-back sets in a single match.
 
Much like the first set, USI went on an early run to secure the third frame, 25-22. USI began the set with a 7-1 stint until Lindenwood tallied six of the next seven points to make it a one-point game. The Eagles made quick work to regain momentum, controlling a 6-1 run to extend their lead. However, the Lions did not give up, running the score to a 17-17 tie. Three kills from Anderson and a pair of kills from Duncan and sophomore outside/right side hitter Abby Bednar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) gave the Eagles the push they needed to win the set and their first match.
 
Duncan and Anderson did the heaviest lifting on offense, each earning double-doubles. Duncan’s stat line ended with 10 kills, 10 digs, and three aces while Anderson totaled 14 kills, 10 digs, and two aces. Junior outside/right side/setter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) earned a team-high 24 assists while freshman libero/defensive specialist Keira Moore (Newburgh, Indiana) totaled a match-high 14 digs. Anderson and sophomore middle hitter Paris Downing (Avon, Indiana) recorded a match-high four blocks each. 
 
USI ended the night with 33 kills, 28 assists, six aces, 54 digs, and eight blocks. Lindenwood finished with 32 kills, 28 assists, six aces, 49 digs, and four blocks.

Todd Rokita And Team Win $2.9 Million Settlement In Medicaid Fraud Case

SEPTEMBER 29, 2022

Attorney General Todd Rokita today announced his office has recovered $2.9 million to settle allegations that a Northeast Indiana hospital network overbilled Indiana Medicaid between January 2017 and March 2021.

The overbilling resulted from the usage of improper revenue codes submitted to Medicaid for certain blood-clotting tests performed on patients at several hospital locations operated by Parkview Health System.

“All Medicaid providers have an obligation to ensure that they are seeking appropriate and justifiable payments from the Indiana program,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Whenever we have reason to believe the program is overbilled, we investigate — and then we work to recover any overcharges.”

Attorney General Rokita thanked members of his Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for their work on this case — including Deputy Attorney General Jordan Stover and two investigators, John Mills and Bryan Katterhenry,

“We also appreciate Parkview’s cooperation in resolving this matter when it was brought to their attention,” Attorney General Rokita said.

On behalf of Hoosiers, Attorney General Rokita and his team have now recovered more than $429 million since he took office in January 2021. That sum represents the work of four divisions: Complex Litigation; Consumer Protection; Litigation; and the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.

“Our team takes very seriously our responsibility to be wise and faithful stewards of the public trust,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Some recoveries are returned to the public treasury, and some are sent directly to everyday Hoosiers to whom money is owed. Our mission is to ensure justice is done.”

Attached is the settlement agreement with Parkview Health System.

The Indiana Medicaid Fraud Control Unit receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a federal grant. The remaining 25 percent is funded by the State of Indiana.
