In 2005, the Bush Administration wants to make the deepest cuts to housing programs in 30 years.

Protect the Poor in City's Budget
- Issue: In September, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels will deliver his proposed budget to the City Council. Even though it won't be released for almost two months, the process is already well underway. Advocates have done what they can for now, bureaucrats have had their say, not it's citizen involvement (a.k.a. voter involvement) that can make a difference.
