The total cuts equal a $54 billion disinvestment in communities across this country. As a result, not a single city, village or town will be better off if this budget were to be signed into law.<\/p>\n<p>Key programs the budget eliminates funding for are Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG), the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, TIGER grants and he Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>These cuts would have a devastating result on not only on local budgets but also on the quality of life for all our residents. It is imperative that we weight in with our voice and inform Congress that these cuts are unacceptable. The League will be proactively reaching out to express our concerns and we need you to do the same.
