Community Development Block Grants

As you may be aware, the House of Representatives recently voted to dramatically cut funding for Community Development Block Grants. These grants provide critical support for organizations like the Frankford CDC. Without them, we would not be able to continue our efforts to help small businesses along Frankford Avenue, fill vacant storefronts, and, in general, create an even stronger Frankford community.

As the Senate, House, and President Obama continue negotiating, we encourage you to write or call Congressman Brady, Congresswoman Schwartz, and Senators Casey and Toomey in support of Community Development Block Grants. We have included their contact information here:
