Support the Needs of Latino and Low-Income Communities

The FY25 budget cycle is underway- and your voices will be critical to ensuring that key programs to YOUR work are funded to the maximum possible level. Join us by sending this letter to your members of Congress, and uplift community and eocnomic development programs such as:

• The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - one of the largest federal block grants in existence, annually allocating billions of dollars to support local neighborhood revitalization, housing rehabilitation, and community and economic development efforts.

• The Microloan program at the Small Business Adminstration (SBA)- provides direct loans to non-profit intermediary lenders to support minority entrepreneurs.

• The CDFI Fund- administers programs to support Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and similar organizations in community development.

• And other programs at HUD, SBA, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Department of Commerce. 

Email your members of Congress today and urge them to ensure that the programs vital for Latino and low-income communities are robustly funded in FY25 appropriations bills. It only takes a minute to send this email and your action has never been more needed.
