KZMU News · How are local organizations responding to AmeriCorps cuts?

Over 30,000 AmeriCorps members lost their jobs last week after an executive order canceled $400 million in grants nationwide. In Moab, at least five organizations lost AmeriCorps members, including the affordable housing non-profit Community Rebuilds, which lost 10 members. Today, we speak with Community Rebuilds Executive Director Rikki Epperson, Program Director Nancy Morlock, and former Community Rebuilds AmeriCorps member Josie Messner about the cuts.
