While it’s disappointing to see a 60% cut to the HOME program, slashing $750 million in funding for affordable housing development, this does not mean we stop pushing. Here in Springfield, where we have some of the highest disparities in homeownership and income gaps in the country, we cannot afford to sit back.Affordable housing and workforce development remain top priorities, and the team and I will pursue every possible funding opportunity, partnership, and policy change to ensure that our communities are not left behind. These cuts make the fight harder, but they also make it more urgent. We will not stop advocating, building, and creating pathways for a stronger future.enterprisecommunity.org/blog/Stay engaged. Stay informed. Stay in the fight.#TheStruggleContinues ... See MoreSee Less

The work never stops! From day one of sitting in the chair of true visible change, I’ve fought to make sure resources actually reach the people—not just special interests.This program was built to support minority-owned businesses and homeowners, providing up to $100,000 for businesses and $25,000 for home improvements in areas that need it most. It’s one of the only programs of its kind in the state, and I’m proud to have been part of making it happen alongside Sen. Doris Turner.Springfield deserves leadership that puts people first, and I’ll keep fighting to bring resources home where they belong. Let’s keep pushing forward!www.sj-r.com/story/business/2025/03/17/cannabis-grants-creating-business-opportunities-in-springf...#ForThePeople #StrongerCommunities #Springfield ... See MoreSee Less
