Cleveland Heights stands to see cuts in its federal funding after the U.S. Senate did not come to an agreement to stop $85 billion in federal cuts Thursday.
The city received about $3.9 million in federal funding in 2012, including $2.5 million from the Community Development Block Grant, which helps fund senior programs, street, water and sewer maintenance, youth recreation centers, food banks, housing programs and more.
The city also received $721,000 from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which it uses to rehab or demolish nuisance homes, among other things.
