Federal Cuts Threaten Programs


MANASSAS, Va. -- Tapping his toes to the music, Prince William County resident Sean Haley sang along to the theme song of "Scooby-Doo" on Thursday afternoon while watching the popular cartoon in his upstairs bedroom.
Haley, 48, said he tunes in daily and shares his love of Daphne and the gang with his six roommates who live in one of the Arc of Greater Prince William's group homes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The housing program might become a casualty of federal funding cuts. All eyes are on the Senate to see which of the House’s proposed $61 billion in spending cuts will become law, including those that jeopardize community development block grants.
