PROPOSAL FOR A GRANT TO FOR TRAINING
AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN MODEL CITIES
I. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The purpose of this program is to build.the capacity of Model Cities
residents in: to respond knowledgeably and effectively to
the requirements of the Model Cities Program by establishing responsible
neighborhood ‘organizations so that they can assess their problems and can
work effectively with city government and other local institutions in the
planning, execution and evaluation of programs. It is our understanding
that the Model Cities Administration and OEO will join in this project as
part of an effort to build effective and responsible community participation
and to make available funds and assistance to model neighborhood groups in
both first and second roundcities.
Two major objectives of the program are:
1. To provide citizens with a diversity of experience and capability
in local institutional planning, program implementation and
program evaluation. |
To foster maximum feasible integration of organization and
function by CAA and CDA neighborhood groups and to plan and
move toward the eventual consolidation of resident participation
organizations covering the model neighborhood area.
Inherent in making their training, technical assistance, and planning
funds available is the assumption by OFO and HUD that citizens have a
-
1
major role to play in both the Community Action Program and the
Model Cities Program. Further, both OEO's and HUD's philosophy
_~-acknowledges the right of people affected by public programs
to have access to and influence on the process by which decisions
about their lives are made;
--accepts that many of the best intentioned officials and
technicians are often, by their training, experiences, and
life-styles, unfamiliar with or even insensitive to the
problems and aspirations of model neighborhood residents;
therefore, resident ideas and priorities can result in more
relevant, sensitive, and effective plans and programs;
--recognizes that the process of participation makes it possible
for those citizens formerly Sueaide the system to learn how it
functions and how to make it function in their interest-and —
that the procéss makes it possible for residents to strengthen |
existing skills and to develop the eine of new skills needed
for effective citizenship beyond as well as within the Model
Cities Program.
In light of the above and in order to overcome these problems, OEO
and HUD are encouraging CAA's, CDA's and the neighborhood groups to test this
technical assistance strategy through the use of these funds. Funds

allocated to neighborhood groups under these grants may be used to
provide planning, training and technical assistance services to
neighborhood residents including but not limited to the following:
1. Full-time staff for neighborhood groups to plan and
develop services under these programs. |
