Save the CDBG Program
Five things you can do to save the Community
Development Block Grant Program:
- Ask your members of Congress to support Senators Pat Leahy’s
and Norm Coleman’s letters to the Senate Leadership rejecting
President Bush’s proposal to cut funding for the CDBG
program effectively eliminating minor home repair and home
purchase assistance programs.
- Tell your representatives and senators about exemplary CDBG
projects in your community. Let them know how much you need
the assistance that the programs provide.
- Thank them for their prior support of CDBG.
- Spread good news about the program through letters to the
editor in local newspapers.
- Visit the National League of Cities Grassroots Action Center
at www.nlc.org for up-to-date information about the campaign.
