#CDFIs bring flexible capital to our projects. #Congress fund $324M for the #CDFIFund and simplify the process so we can keep serving. @rep_stevewomack @RepBice @RepHalRogers #UntilAllThrive

In FY23, CDBG & related programs created/retained 25,516 FTE jobs including 20,297 for low/moderate-income workers. Cutbacks would stall economic recovery. @rep_stevewomack @RepBice @RepHalRogers #UntilAllThrive

📊 36% of Arkansas' nonprofit housing developers spent more than they earned in 2018. Over half had less than 3 months of cash in reserves. Cuts to HOME/CDBG would collapse local capacity right when it's most needed. @rep_stevewomack #untilallthrive

Check out this funding opportunity! The deadline is July 25.

Nonprofit developers front 2x the cost to get 50% reimbursed later. Delays in HOME or CDBG funding stall projects & hurt supply. FY26 must include full funding. @rep_stevewomack @RepBice @RepHalRogers #UntilAllThrive

Nearly 90% of nonprofit developers rely on HOME & CDBG to make housing projects pencil out. No federal support = no private investment = no homes. Fund HOME at $1.5B & protect CDBG in FY26. @rep_stevewomack @RepBice @RepHalRogers #UntilAllThrive

#OpportunityZones need reform. Without transparency & a real commitment to affordable housing, #OZs cause displacement & deepen inequities. @MikeCrapo @SenatorTimScott @LeaderJohnThune, communities are watching! #UntilAllThrive

Tell Congress that Opportunity Zones should offer transparency and provide affordable housing. Sign this letter initiated by @SmartGrowthUSA & the Opportunity Zone Coalition smartgrowthamerica.salsalabs.org/ozs/index.html

Sudden federal office closures don’t just cut jobs, they jeopardize small businesses and communities. Local shops lose foot traffic and contracts with no time to plan. Community development organizations lose critical coordination, access to guidance, and timely information needed to deliver housing, jobs, and support where they are most needed. Decisions made in D.C. ripple far beyond it. The impact is intensely local. We’re keeping an eye on developments — reach out if you’re seeing local impacts from the Executive Order – Restoring Common Sense to Federal Office Space Management: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
