* Why it matters: Counties generate more than two-thirds of the revenue needed to serve residents, but they also depend on $62 billion in federal funding each year — making predictable
federal support essential.
* What counties face: A shutdown could disrupt counties' ability to deliver essential services to residents, including nutrition assistance, airport security, infrastructure projects,
public housing and homelessness.
* What to know: Counties are calling on our federal partners to work in a bipartisan way to keep the federal government fully operational. Read our full FAQs <https://public-usa.mkt.dynamics.com/api/
