Community Development Block Grants help us invest directly in Providence by building affordable housing, fixing streets and sidewalks, supporting public safety and more. This federal funding makes a real difference in our neighborhoods, and we can’t afford to lose it. #SaveCDBG

UU.S. Mayors@usmayors · Jul 17

CDBG is not just another government acronym — it improves the quality of life for Americans across the country through investments in housing, public safety, infrastructure, and more. Our cities can't afford to lose this program, and mayors are calling on Congress to #SaveCDBG.
