NPP DATABASE

Philip Korman dropped us a note about NPP Database. The National Priorities Project (NPP) keeps us informed about how the federal budget impacts communities across the country. Find fact sheets, charts and a new interactive database. Here you can create your own charts and graphs on federal spending and needs. If you need data for your latest prospect proposal on housing, hunger, education, health, labor, poverty/income and military spending, find it here.
