Higher Cost, Worse Coverage: Affordable Care Act Enrollees Say Expiring Subsidies Will Hit Them Hard
Sen. John Kerry
WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, has introduced the Minority Entrepreneurship and Innovation Pilot Program to encourage small business growth among minority populations nationwide.
The legislation creates a $24 million grant program to develop entrepreneurial curricula at historically Black colleges and universities, tribal colleges and Hispanic-serving institutions.
Kaiser Permanente is launching an outreach and mentoring program to help minority contractors compete for construction projects the hospital is planning in Portland during the next several years.
More than $1.7 billion in construction projects are planned for Oregon and Washington, with most of that in the Portland area, said Joanna Davison, manager of National Facilities Services Diversity for Kaiser.
But just as construction plans are coming on line for Kaiser, local construction crews are heading out of Portland and down to Louisiana to rebuild New Orleans and other towns. The new program will help "build our pool of contractors" for the future, she said.
