The Cowboy Rides Away

We’ve got your last episode of the decade right here!

In this episode, Steve Johnson, longtime Director of HUD’s Entitlement Communities Division, looks back on his career in community development. From sharing his favorite stories of how local governments utilize the CDBG program to creatively serve their communities, to advice for the next generation of community changers, we learn that digging in and solving problems takes everybody – the federal government, local governments, and advocacy partners like NACCED.

Plus, Steve expresses great disdain for hot dogs, the gals regale with tales of a celebratory Christmas lunch at Filomena, and everyone learns what “yerd” means.
