Centralize development aid for more accountabillity
The $16 billion federal economic and community development effort is fragmented across seven cabinet agencies. The result is an absence of accountability. We would create Strengthening America’s Communities Grant Program. It would standardize eligibility
requirements. New accountability guidelines would ensure that communities receiving grants make progress toward specific goals, such as job creation, boosting homeownership among first-time and minority buyers, and promoting private sector investment.
