Block Grant Development

The reading and resources for Module Two discuss how intergovernmental relationships that are based on program funds affect functions, services, and citizens at all levels of government. For this short paper, write a response to the following:

As the city manager of Anytown, Michigan, you are assigned the responsibility of developing and submitting a community-development block grant for a neighborhood revitalization project that has been a high priority for the city council, the county board of commissioners, the local nonprofit housing agency, and the governor’s office. A critical part of the grant is obtaining letters of support and nonfederal funds to meet the block grant’s match requirement. Discuss who you would contact about generating the local match and letters of support. Explain your rationale.

What to Submit

Your paper should be about 1 page in length with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style.
