National Community Development Week

April 1-6, 2013

Starting on April 1st, communities across the nation will be celebrating the 27th Annual National Community Development Week, which brings together community leaders, government officials, and nonprofit organizations in support of HUD’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs.

National Community Development Week is organized by a coalition of national organizations — including NRHC — to raise awareness of just how important CDBG and HOME are to our communities.

Here’s a link to a Planning Guide with more information on how you can participate — including sample press releases, community resolutions, fact sheets, and event ideas.
