furthering one level of govern
ment over another, but rather
in providing the executive
framework and legislative tools
necessary to recapture this
sense of COMMUNITY that is
making itself felt across the
breadth and width of our Na
tion.
Primary to this effort was the
creation of the Pennsylvania De
partment of Community Affairs
in July, 1966. This was the first
such Department formed in the
Nation and has been a leader in
the development of methods
and programs to meet the so
called “urban ciisis.”
We have put actual dollars in
to such vital programs as Model
Cities, 0.E.0., Urban Renewal,
Housing, Recreation, Mass
Transportation, and others.
—ln the summer of 1967 we
made $700,000 available to our
cities to start Model Cities
Planning—Federal funds were
not forthcoming until October.
—We have put $3 million of
State funds into the State O E O
program—the only State in the
Nation to do this.
—We developed a tax credit
program through our Neighbor
hood Assistance Act to get in
dustry and business involved in
the ui'ban crisis. This will cost
the State approximately $8.75
million over the next five years.
The first credits were granted
this month.
—We initiated a hard-core
manpower training program
last year with $6 million in
State funds. This guarantees a
job at the end of the line. Our
first graduates—all jobless be
fore —are now earning S 5 an
hour as heavy equipment opera
tors.
