As Congress considers whether and how to reauthorize these programs, funders have an opportunity to understand what is at stake and help inform policymakers about those affected by potential changes or inaction. It explains how the congressional authorization and appropriations processes shape program funding, and highlights opportunities for funders to inform policymakers about community needs, program impact, and priorities for reauthorization or continued funding.
