Power Forward Communities: A coalition of five nonprofit organizations — Enterprise Community Partners, Habitat for Humanity International, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), Rewiring America and United Way Worldwide.

Abrams' connection to Power Forward Communities, is through Rewiring America, one of the five organizations that leads the program.

That seems pretty weak. No idea what the other group is but I mean if the above is what's being lead with, I don't find myself concerned. Looks more like working your way backwards from "I don't want this money spent so I will find whatever connection I can to corruption"




And it takes some kind of chutzpah to claim that Habitat for Humanity has no track record or competency building affordable housing, just because this collaboration is new…


LISC and ECP too. Like 1.5m affordable units developed between them


The gall to describe a group counting habitat for humanity and united way as members as “a new nonprofit”…

It’d be funny if it wasn’t so serious


That is McCarthyism[1] in a nutshell. You find someone or something you don't like then work backwards.
