NeighborWorks has a proven record of working with local community leaders to improve infrastructure and build strong neighborhoods all over the country. I am excited to have a partner with a shared goal of creating jobs and providing affordable housing in our communities, so Southern West Virginia remains a place where every person has the opportunity to live, work, and raise a family," stated Congresswoman Miller.

"Once again, Congress has demonstrated it has a sharp eye for a good investment," said NeighborWorks America President and CEO Marietta Rodriguez. "NeighborWorks America's proven ability to leverage $60 for every $1 of Congressional appropriation is a testament to the remarkable performance of NeighborWorks America's network of nearly 250 organizations located in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. We are proud to operationalize excellence through these grant awards to our powerful and innovative network.
