Action 1
Using the power of the National Performance Review Act, the Administration
should continue to consolidate and coordinate federal programs and allow
flexibility to enable states and local governments to consolidate smaller
separate grant programs. Many sustainable community initiatives are spearheaded
by community groups that lack the experience, fiscal resources, and time to
work within the complex administrative structure of government. Other
organizations have expertise, time, and money, but could be even more
productive if their resources were targeted elsewhere. Although federal, state,
and local governments have taken action to reduce obstacles, continuous
attention should be given to encouraging flexibility for funding eligibility
and .one-stop shopping. for grants and other funding opportunities.
