Thank you for your hard work.
On Tuesday, May 30, the DC Council had its first vote on the FY 2018 budget.
The budgets proposed by both the Mayor and DC Council maintained, because of your efforts, some key investments in affordable housing and community economic development that are instrumental to the health of the District. In other cases, the Council fell short of our recommendations. Though we did not see increases in every single one of CNHED’s priority areas, our voice commanded attention.
Here are the highlights of the affordable housing and economic development programs in the budget that were passed by the DC Council on the first vote.
