CFDA 90.705: Southeast Crescent Regional Commission - Economic and Infrastructure Development Grants

Objectives

The mission of the Commission is to help build sustainable communities and promote economic growth across the Southeast Crescent region, which encompasses some of the highest poverty rates in the United States. The federal-state partnership is comprised of the Federal Co-Chair and the seven Governors of the participating States. From participating states, one Governor is elected as the States’ Co-Chair. The State Alternates’ offices are the coordinators for the Governors for SCRC investments. All activities funded by the SCRC must advance the Commission’s Five-Year Strategic Plan. Responsibility for the development of plans and programs authorized under the enabling statute is vested in the Commission. Also established by the Commission are general policies and procedures and the allocation of funds among the programs and states. SCRC activities and projects must align with one or more of the six strategic goals identified in the SCRC five-year strategic plan: (1) Invest in Critical Infrastructure; (2) Improve Health and Support Services Access and Outcomes; (3) Strengthen Workforce Capacity; (4) Foster Entrepreneurial and Business Development Activities; (5) Expand Affordable Housing Stock and Access; and (6) Promote Environmental, Conservation, Preservation, and Access.
