How Cuts and Investments Will Impact Cities: The Administration’s Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Proposal

The administration’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 budget proposal would cut an unprecedented $54 billion in federal funding for domestic programs important to cities and towns. Congress is expected to follow suit with proposed cuts to federal programs that may appear more reasonable by comparison, but would ultimately continue shifting costs and responsibilities to city leaders and local governments.  The cuts of this magnitude will have major consequences for every city in America – regardless of size, location or economic outlook.  Read the full budget proposal  >
