Urge Your Representative to Sign-on to the FY22 Historic Preservation Fund Dear Colleague Letter Today!
Congress is starting the appropriations process which will determine Fiscal Year 2022 funding levels for historic preservation. The co-chairs of the Historic Preservation Caucus, Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Rep. Michael Turner (R-OH), are leading the bipartisan FY22 House Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) Dear Colleague Letter in the House. The letter request $150 million in funding for the HPF, the same level Preservation Action advocated for during Advocacy Week and represents full funding for the HPF. The request includes significant increases for State and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices, and increases to critically important competitive grant programs. The letter requests:
The letter also supports funding the semiquincentennial grant program to preserve historical sites commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America.
The letter will be submitted to the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee and marks a strong commitment to the HPF.
Congress needs to hear from preservation advocates
To maximize the impact of the letter, we need as many Representatives to sign-on as possible. Urge your Representative to sign-on to the bipartisan FY22 HPF Dear Colleague Letter being circulated by Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Mike Turner (R-OH) today!
