Making a Difference:  The Importance of Restoring Federal Community Development Funding

NAHRO is pleased to share a new resource that will help you make the case for increased funding for HUD’s community and economic development programs, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. “Making a Difference: The Importance of Restoring Federal Community Development Funding” is a publication that provides an overview of CDBG as well as the Section 108 Loan Guarantee and Brownfields Economic Development Initiative. “Making a Difference” discusses the recent decline in funding for these programs along with the impact funding cuts have had on the efforts of states and local governments to build stronger communities.

“Making a Difference” is the second in an ongoing series of NAHRO publications examining the consequences of reduced funding for core federal housing and community development programs. NAHRO released “Paying the Price: The Costs of Cutting Public Housing Funding” earlier this year. “Paying the Price” is available here.

Please consider sharing this new resource with members of your Congressional delegation and their staff during the August recess. It is my hope that it will be helpful to you as you advocate for full funding for all of HUD’s affordable housing and community development programs.

Sincerely,

Saul N. Ramirez, Jr.

Executive Director
