(b)  Local governments have the skills and resources needed to lead urban problem-solving efforts.
(c)  Local, state, and federal governments coordinate their independent programs so that their resources will be concentrated on the most pressing urban problems.

(a)  Provide flexible bloc grants to local governments and waive restrictions in existing categorical grant-in-aid programs to permit state and local governments to respond to local conditions and design creative and innovative programs.
(b)  Seek to develop in local governments the skills, resources, and community support needed for effective leadership in urban problem-solving efforts.
(c)  Seek to coordinate and concentrate the resources of all levels of government on locally defined urban problems.
(d)  Provide opportunities for government to develop programs which integrate the specialized services of various professional agencies.
