[Calclg-l] FW: [ncshpo-listserv] Appropriations Update

[Jan McClintock]

Marie,

 

This is good news and we'd like to look into ways of using these funds. Will
any of these funds be tied to a Certified Housing Element - it seem more and
more of the grant and loan programs are requiring a State Certified Housing
Element.

 

P.S. Have you heard any news about the Distinctive Destinations winners yet?

More money for SHPOs means more money for CLG grants!

 

Breaking news (DEC 19)  on FY08 Appropriations.......

 

This evening the House voted to accept a Senate amendment (Iraq funding)
which was the final piece in passing the FY08 Omnibus Appropriations bill,
H.R.2764. The Senate approved the bill yesterday by a vote of 76-17. The
bill must now be signed by the President which will likely happen yet this
week. The President has stated he will not veto the bill.

 

The spending package contains 11 appropriation bills, including the
Interior, Environment and Related Agencies bill. Given the constraints,
historic preservation programs fared well when compared to others in the
Interior bill.  Below are the Historic Preservation Fund individual program
amounts:

 

State Historic Preservation Offices           - $39.37 million,  an increase
of $2.159 million over FY07

Tribal Historic Preservation Offices           - $6.39 million, an increase
of $953,000 over FY07

Save America's Treasures                            - $24.6 million, an
increase of $16.56 million over FY07 *

Preserve America                                            - $7.3 million,
an increase of $2.45 million over FY07 (funds will come out of the National
Recreation and Preservation Fund)

 

*The FY07 CR eliminated all earmarks and only funded the SAT competitive
grant program. At $8 million.

 

The House and Senate will officially recess on Thursday. The House will
return to session on January 15th and the Senate on January 22nd. 

 

Happy Holidays! 

Elizabeth
