§ 9901. Purposes and goals
The purposes of this chapter are—
(1) to provide assistance to States and local
communities, working through a network of
community action agencies and other neigh-
borhood-based organizations, for the reduction
of poverty, the revitalization of low-income
communities, and the empowerment of low-in-
come families and individuals in rural and
urban areas to become fully self-sufficient
(particularly families who are attempting to
transition off a State program carried out
under part A of title IV of the Social Security
Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)); and
(2) to accomplish the goals described in para-
graph (1) through—
(A) the strengthening of community capa-
bilities for planning and coordinating the
use of a broad range of Federal, State, local,
and other assistance (including private re-
sources) related to the elimination of pov-
erty, so that this assistance can be used in a
manner responsive to local needs and condi-
tions;
(B) the organization of a range of services
related to the needs of low-income families
and individuals, so that these services may
have a measurable and potentially major im-
pact on the causes of poverty in the commu-
nity and may help the families and individ-
uals to achieve self-sufficiency;
(C) the greater use of innovative and effec-
tive community-based approaches to attack-
ing the causes and effects of poverty and of
community breakdown;
(D) the maximum participation of resi-
dents of the low-income communities and
members of the groups served by programs
assisted through the block grants made
under this chapter to empower such resi-
dents and members to respond to the unique
problems and needs within their commu-
nities; and
(E) the broadening of the resource base of
programs directed to the elimination of pov-
erty so as to secure a more active role in the
provision of services for—
(i) private, religious, charitable, and
neighborhood-based organizations; and
(ii) individual citizens, and business,
labor, and professional groups, who are
able to influence the quantity and quality
of opportunities and services for the poor.
(Pub. L. 97–35, title VI, § 672, as added Pub. L.
105–285, title II, § 201, Oct. 27, 1998, 112 Stat. 2728.)
