THE PRESERVATION BUDGET Select Preservation Priorities for FY 2022 Appropriations

February 2021 The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a privately funded nonprofit organization that works to save America’s historic places. From our headquarters in Washington, D.C. and our field offices, we take direct, on-the-ground action when historic sites are threatened. Our work helps build vibrant, sustainable communities. We facilitate public participation in the preservation of sites, buildings, and objects of national significance or interest. We advocate with governments to save America’s heritage and we strive to create a cultural legacy that is as diverse as the nation itself so that all of us can take pride in our part of the American story. For more information, visit SavingPlaces.org.

ON THE COVER: CHACO CULTURE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, COURTESY JOSEPH MCCARTY, FLICKR; THE NATIONAL WOMEN’S PARTY PICKETING AT THE WHITE HOUSE, COURTESY NATIONAL PARK SERVICE; 16TH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, COURTESY US CIVIL RIGHTS TRAIL MARKETING ALLIANCE THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION is pleased to publish our third annual report recommending funding levels for select federal preservation programs. These programs have a significant impact on the stewardship of historic resources in every state and congressional district.

Preservationists have long advocated for the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), including funding for state and tribal historic preservation officers (SHPOs and THPOs). These offices implement the nation’s key preservation programs on the ground, including evaluating the impacts of federal projects, reviewing tax credit projects, and other essential activities.

Congress recognizes the importance of the HPF and has increased funding during each of the past four years. Last year’s level of $144.3 million represented a record level for the HPF—a 78% increase over FY 2017. Much of this growth has been for grant programs that expand the scope of preservation to better tell a more diverse and inclusive American story. We were especially pleased that Congress continued to build upon the success of the African American Civil Rights Grant Program by funding the Civil Rights for All Americans Grant Program for its second year. The Underrepresented Community, Save America’s Treasures, and the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization grant programs each received increased funding, and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Grant Program was funded at its authorized level. And, for the first time, Congress awarded $10 million for grants to recognize the Semiquincentennial Celebration of the Declaration of Independence.

As we seek to heal from divisions that challenge our nation and the need to address issues of racial and social justice, increased support for HPF programs will help us learn from our past and allow us to protect and preserve more sites and stories associated with historically disenfranchised and underrepresented groups. Additionally, increased funding for SHPOs, THPOs, and HPF competitive grant programs will support many historic rehabilitation projects, which create well-paying, preservation-related jobs that support investment in local communities.

This report also recommends funding for other key agencies and programs that protect our nation’s cultural resources. While Congress has made significant advances in abating the nearly $12 billion maintenance backlog of the National Park Service, increased annual appropriations remain necessary to tackle the remainder of the backlog and prevent it from growing to such levels again. We also highlight programs of the Bureau of Land Management, which stewards the largest and most diverse body of cultural, historical, and paleontological resources on federal lands.

We are hopeful this report will assist congressional staff and historic preservation stakeholders throughout the country appreciate and advocate for key federal programs that protect our nation’s historic legacy for the benefit of all Americans.

Preserving Main Street

The Historic Preservation Fund benefits preservation in local communities through various programs such as the Certified Local Government (CLG) Program, which includes 2,000 communities nationwide . Jointly administered by the National Park Service and SHPOs, the CLG Program allows local communities to access funding for surveys, National Register nominations, rehabilitation work, educational programs, structural assessments, feasibility studies, and more . At least 10% of HPF funding to states must be passed along to CLGs as subgrants . These local communities can also access SHPO staff for technical assistance .

After decades of inconsistent public funding, the deferred maintenance backlog has ballooned to nearly $12 billion, putting irreplaceable historic and cultural artifacts at risk of permanent damage or loss. Without robust funding, the condition of these assets will continue to deteriorate and become more expensive to repair and preserve in the future. Reliable, dedicated funding will preserve the ability for Americans and international visitors to enjoy and experience iconic historic resources and natural wonders on federal lands.

The National Mall Tidal Basin is threatened by as much as $500 million in deferred maintenance needs. Daily flooding, crumbling infrastructure, and damaged cherry tree roots threaten the integrity of one of America’s most iconic places. In April 2019, the National Trust for Historic Preservation launched the National Mall Tidal Basin National Treasure in partnership with the Trust for the National Mall. The National Treasure designation led to the creation of the Tidal Basin Ideas Lab, the first step in a multi-phase process intended to raise awareness, elevate an important discourse, and educate and engage the public about the future stewardship of the Tidal Basin. The Ideals Lab engaged five leading American landscape architecture firms to present potential visions for the Tidal Basin that could help inform the National Park Service when they initiate a Master Plan for the iconic landscape.
