A bill to create the bureau of community services and the commission on economic and social opportunity; to reduce the causes, conditions, and effects of poverty; to promote social and economic opportunities that foster self-sufficiency for low-income individuals; to provide for the designation of community action agencies; and to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state departments, the bureau, the commission, and community action agencies.
House Bills 5060 and 5061 would replace the Michigan Economic and Social Opportunity Act with a new but substantively similar act, the “Bureau of Community Action and Economic Opportunity Act.” The current law provides for the administration of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a federal funding program intended to alleviate poverty and support low-income individuals.
