As the Council of the District of Columbia embarks upon the crucial task of shaping the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, we at the Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED) wish to offer our insights, recommendations, and unwavering support in navigating these challenging times.
In the below narratives, we will detail our budget recommendations for various programs, providing an overview of each program’s importance, the overall need, and our rationale for the budget numbers proposed. Furthermore, CNHED and our membership extend an offer to partner with the District government in these trying times. We are committed to helping improve program design, develop process improvements, and correct historical injustices, thereby benefiting the under-resourced residents of the District.
Together, we can build a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous future for all residents of the District of Columbia.
