Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from S. 88, the Local Empowerment and Flexibility Act of 1995: Hearing Before the Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session
The comprehensive approach was endorsed by hud in March of 1994, and several national foundations, frustrated with the results of programs they previously funded, have begun funding organiza tions that are now taking such a comprehensive approach.
However, multiple challenges confronted the four organizations we studied. The organizations had to, among other things, piece to gether a complex web of funding from several private and public sources to cover program and administrative costs. Overall, the groups relied on public funding for up to 30 to 60 percent of their budgets, often with conditions or other restrictions on their use. The organizations also faced the onerous task of managing a di verse set of concurrent housing, economic development, and social service programs.
The Federal Government assists distressed urban communities and their residents through such a complex system involving mul tiple Federal departments and agencies. Together, these agencies administer, as you have heard this morning, hundreds of programs in the areas of housing, economic development, and social services. These agencies have tended not to coordinate their efforts with one another because they have separate missions and have been con cerned about losing control over their own resources.
