This relatively high percentage of low income individuals <br />and families requires a diverse amount of assistance to make their exis- <br />tance more tolerable. The present amount of resoutes within the city, <br />public and private, are not adequate to meet this great need. <br /> <br />However, with General Revenue Sharing Funds implemented to supplement <br />existing social programs, and to begin other coordinated programs, the <br />plight of the less fortunate can be improved. <br /> <br />Since the areas of Health, Recreation, and Social services for the poor <br />and aged are included within the framework of authorized Revenue Sharing <br />expenditures, we have included three brief precis of programs our Agency <br />would be interested in operating for the disadvantaged with Revenue Shar- <br />ing Funds. It is our belief that this would be the most efficient and <br />economical method of handling program expenditures in these areas. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY ACTION MEANS OPPORTUNITY <br />
