Grantees have broad discretion, but funded activities must either benefit low- or moderate-income households, help prevent or eliminate slums, or meet other urgent community development needs. This report (1) provides information on the funding of economic development activities and the impediments that grantees have experienced; (2) identifies issues related to the proper use of these funds; (3) provides information on the types and quality of jobs resulting from programs funding and identifies possible criteria for measuring job quality; and (4) identifies potential performance indicators for measuring the overall effectiveness of economic development activities under the program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-108/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-108.htm GAO/RCED-94-108 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-94-108 Chapter Report GAO/RCED-94-108; Community Development: Block Grant Economic Development Activities Reflect Local Priorities; Community development Grant administration Federal/state relations Aid for training or employment Housing programs Economic development Business assistance State-administered programs Funds management Block grants Community Development Block Grant Small Cities Community Development Block Grant FmHA Business and Industry Loan Guarantee Program Urban Development Action Grant HUD Family Self-Sufficiency Program Buffalo (NY) Los Angeles (CA) Detroit (MI) Newark (NJ) Philadelphia (PA) Rochester (NY) Seattle (WA) Dayton (OH) District of Columbia Denver (CO) Reading (PA) Pittsburgh (PA) Caguas (Puerto Rico) Jersey City (NJ) New York (NY) Syracuse (NY) Columbus (OH) King County (WA) Troy (NY) Luzerne County (PA) Public Law 102-550
