Schumer explained that these cuts would effectively decimate critical funding that the City of Elmira relies on for local public infrastructure projects, home rehabilitation and ownership programs, neighborhood revitalization efforts and more. Schumer explained that the FY 2016 THUD bill, which was passed out of the Appropriations Committee, includes drastic cuts to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). During his visit, Schumer stood at the home of Yolanda Klein, who purchased her West Henry Street home in July 2014 through the City of Elmira’s Catholic Charities First-Time Homebuyer Program, after the house had been remodeled through Near Westside Neighborhood Association’s “One House At A Time” Program. Schumer explained that both of these programs rely on HOME funds in particular to operate. "}}
