August Advocacy Week 3 – Expand Affordable Housing & Support Local Investment

by Shannon Guernsey | Aug 19, 2026 | Advocacy

Community Development Programs Support Local Investment & Revitalize Communities

HOME and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) give communities flexible resources to build and preserve affordable housing, support homeownership, improve infrastructure, and respond to local needs. These programs also help leverage additional public and private investment needed to move affordable housing developments forward.

That’s why for Week 3 of August Advocacy, we’re urging Congress to provide $2 billion for HOME and $4.2 billion for CDBG in FY 2027.
