Last minute cuts are being made to neighborhood funds that were awarded to communities.  Low-income neighborhoods hit by the recession, foreclosures, and unemployment will be hurt the most.  The proposed City Council action will take 50% from neighborhood revitalization plan funding and in some cases freeze all remaining funds.

The majority of neighborhood funds go towards housing loans/grants, rehab of foreclosures, down-payment assistance, public safety efforts, youth programming, strengthening neighborhoods and program staff. 

Tell your mayor and council member to protect neighborhood funding and oppose any effort to freeze and cut money committed to neighborhoods.  The Northside needs City investment not disinvestment.
