1ST SESSION H. R. 818

To amend title VI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 to

establish a community services empowerment program.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

FEBRUARY 4, 1993

Mr. MARTINEZ introduced the following bill; which was referred to the

Committee on Education and Labor

A BILL

To amend title VI of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation

Act of 1981 to establish a community services

empowerment program.

1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Community Services

5 Empowerment Amendments of 1993’’.

6 SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

7 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:

8 (1) Low-income communities in urban and

9 rural areas throughout the United States depend on

10 community service programs to fight poverty and
2

•HR 818 IH

1 ameliorate the effects of poverty on people who live

2 in these communities.

3 (2) Present antipoverty programs funded by

4 community service programs date back to 1964,

5 when President Lyndon Johnson ‘‘declared war on

6 poverty,’’ and Congress passed the Economic Oppor7 tunity Act of 1964.

8 (3) Community service programs have helped

9 millions of people from low-income communities ac10 quire meaningful employment, adequate education,

11 necessary emergency assistance, economic self-suffi12 ciency, child care, weatherization, transportation,

13 consumer counseling, and numerous other opportuni14 ties for self-advancement.

15 (4) Community service programs provide special

16 services for older individuals, migrant workers, and

17 Native Americans.

18 (5) Community service programs have strength19 ened the capability of low-income communities to

20 plan and coordinate Federal, State, and other pro21 grams related to the elimination of poverty, so that

22 these other programs respond to the local needs and

23 conditions through the efforts of local officials, orga24 nizations, and interested and affected citizens.
3

•HR 818 IH

1 (6) Community service programs have stimu2 lated a more concentrated utilization of all available

3 local, State, private, and Federal resources to enable

4 low-income families, and low income individuals of

5 all ages in rural and urban areas to attain the skills,

6 knowledge, motivation, and opportunities needed for

7 them to become fully self-sufficient.

8 (7) Development and implementation of com9 munity service programs serve the poor or low-in10 come areas with the maximum feasible participation

11 of residents of the areas and members of the groups

12 served, so as to best stimulate and take full advan13 tage of capabilities for self-advancement and ensure

14 that such programs and projects are otherwise

15 meaningful to and widely utilized by their intended

16 beneficiaries.

17 (8) Community service programs have broad18 ened the resource base of programs directed at the

19 elimination of poverty, to secure (in addition to the

20 services and assistance of pubic officials, private reli21 gious, charitable, and neighborhood organizations,

22 and individual citizens) a more active role of busi23 ness, labor, and professional groups able to provide

24 employment opportunities or otherwise influence the
4

•HR 818 IH

1 quality and quantity of services of concern to the

2 poor.

3 (9) Community service program funds provided

4 under the Community Services Block Grant Act (42

5 U.S.C. 9901 et seq.) are used to leverage a signifi6 cant amount of private funding which, when com7 bined and coordinated with Federal and State pro8 gram funds, results in effective, cost-efficient, and

9 comprehensive local strategies to alleviate poverty.

10 (10) Ninety-five percent of the funds provided

11 under such Act are directly spent on antipoverty

12 programs.

13 (11) Local antipoverty programs funded under

14 the Community Services Block Grant Act do not du15 plicate local social service programs, according to a

16 1986 study by the General Accounting Office.

17 (b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this Act to estab18 lish a national corporation on community service

19 empowerment to administer the community services

20 empowerment partnership program established by this Act

21 and to serve as a focal point for Federal efforts to promote

22 community services empowerment.
