We recently joined The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton on Federal News Network to discuss one of the most significant shifts in the federal funding landscape in recent history: the termination and revocation of billions in grant funding.

The legislation creates an existential crisis for environmental nonprofits, housing organizations, and clean energy companies as existing awards are canceled and future opportunities vanish.
