SUBJECT: Drawing the Links Between the Purposes of Title IV-B, Subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, Family Preservation and Family Support, and the Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities. LEGAL & RELATED REFERENCES: Sections 430-435 of the Social Security Act, title XIII of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, and 42 U.S.C. 1397 et. seq. PURPOSE: To encourage State Family Preservation and Family Support Program coordinators to link their efforts with the activities of the Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities. BACKGROUND: The Empowerment Zone / Enterprise Community initiative is a federal government-wide effort to enable the self-revitalization and growth of distressed urban and rural areas throughout the nation. In December 1994, 105 socio-economically distressed areas were designated to receive focused federal economic and human development assistance. These communities were selected from more than 500 applicants that competed for designation, all of whom conducted comprehensive needs assessments with the community through an inclusive "bottom-up" process. The scope and strength of community-based partnerships, resident participation, integration and coordination of activities, private and non-profit sector commitment, and state and local governmentcooperation are all essential elements of the best plans.
