Fayetteville distributes more than $81,000 in federal grant funding to area nonprofits

The city of Fayetteville has distributed over $81,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant funding to seven local nonprofits. The grants, ranging from $7,500 to $25,000, support organizations providing healthcare, financial education, and children's advocacy. A portion of the funding will assist Innovative Poverty Solutions in helping low-income families navigate 'benefit cliffs,' where small wage increases can inadvertently lead to a loss of essential public assistance and overall household resources.
