Highlights

In the first of a series of reports on States' implementation of block grants, GAO reviewed seven States' implementation of the Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Program to assess the initial progress they have made in administering activities under that program. The report addresses concerns about: (1) changes that have occurred as States used their flexibility in funding community development activities; (2) the methods States have used to meet public participation requirements of the program; (3) States' methods for distributing funds and selecting grantees; and (4) States' administration of activities under the program compared with how the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administered the previous program.
