The local Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Jackson, Tennessee, has reported unexpected and significant funding cuts impacting AmeriCorps, a vital partner in their operations. CEO Adam Johnson emphasized the severity of the situation, highlighting that 32,000 volunteers and 1,000 organizations nationwide are affected by the loss of over $400 million in grants and a potential 85% reduction in AmeriCorps staff. This funding loss will hinder community programs, especially those aiding seniors with home repairs, drastically affecting local support systems.
We were kind of notified indirectly over the weekend that there might be some funding that's frozen or funding that is eliminated from institutions like AmeriCorps, and for us, that's a pretty significant situation.
This has taken a toll on a lot of Americans across the United States where a lot of them won't be able to have jobs, no health insurance or anything.
