Washington, D.C., March 9, 2024 – Warwick Group Consultants, the nation’s leading coastal advocacy firm, has secured $4.85 million in funding from the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bills during the Fiscal Year 2024 budget process. This funding will be used to support two critical west coast projects including:

• $4,000,000 for the City of North Bend, OR for an affordable workforce housing project
• $850,000 for the City of Solana Beach, CA to complete traffic calming and multi-modal improvements along Lomas Santa Fe Drive
