NORTHEAST-MIDWEST INSTITUTE ISSUES URGENT NOTE TO THE COALITIONS ON

FEDERAL PROGRAMS WITH A MAJOR ROLE IN THE REGION

 

Washington, D.C. - The Northeast-Midwest Institute produced a data rich
"Note to the Coalitions" describing selected federal programs with a
major role in the Northeast-Midwest region, and providing funding
history by state.  As Congress makes difficult decisions on how to
promote economic growth and stability while reducing the nation's
deficit, it is considering several pieces of legislation with funding
allocations for federal programs for the rest of Fiscal Year 2011 and
the recently released Administration Budget for Fiscal Year 2012. With
this Note to the Coalitions, the Northeast-Midwest Institute provides
vital background on which Coalition-members can base decisions.  Data
are derived from the Combined Federal Funds Report (CFFR) produced by
the U.S. Census Bureau over several years.

 

The Note to the Coalitions contains data from FY2005-FY2009, including:
1) amount allocated to each state/entity;  2) percentage of total U.S.
funds;  and 3) rank among all states/entities that received funding in a
fiscal year.  Programs listed in this Note to the Coalitions include, in
alphabetical order:  Appalachian Regional Commission Projects,
Brownfields Programs under the Environmental Protection Agency,
Community Development Block Grants (Entitlement Grants and State's
Program), Clean Water State Revolving Fund, Demolition and
Revitalization of Severely Distressed Public Housing, Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund, Federal Transit-Capital Investment Grants, Low
Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Manufacturing Extension
Partnership (MEP) Program, the Technology Innovation Program (TIP), and
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms.   The report can be accessed
