ACTION REQUEST
Designate April 10-14, 2023 as Community Development Week.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
National Community Development Week was started in 1986 by NCDA and a group of other national organizations to bring attention to the importance of the CDBG program at a time when the program was facing elimination.
The main objective of National Community Development Week is the education of Congressional members on the importance of CDBG, its impact and the need for increased program funding. National Community Development Week is intentionally held during the Congressional appropriations process so that the significance of CDBG can be imparted to Congressional members through local activities conducted by grantees and our program partners at the grassroots level.
