I. . INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARX

by DaVid Braddock, Ph.D.

A

'Fifteen' or twenty years ago a publication pointng readers toward

Federal government resources and programs fop--.-peopleWith disabilities

would have been short and -easy reading. It could probably have been

reviewed in roughly the amount of timdone ordint-il/ spend'swith an

'informative newsletter. Today, a veritable financial tome Maits your

exatottatid . This observation is ;,not Meant/as a criticism jdst,a-

contrast-ing, contemporary description of.the,increased comple!xity inherent

today in tr 'Jig to comprehensively gauge and report upon the entire fed-

eral effort in the disability area. This mplexityclexlves essentially

from three historical characteristic's of American Government in action

which warrant brief disCussion.

'First, government, and 'eapecially the institutions used by govern-'

merit to allocate financial recourses, have experienced unprecedented growth

over the past two decades. Federal Governmpt expenditures have increasedby nearly seven-fold in constant, dollars from the relatively modest bud -

ge.tary aggregate of $69 billion in 1955 to a proposed $463 billion for

President Cartet's 1978 budget. Most of the increased allocatiOns ate for

nondefense, domeztic purposes. Id fact, a Brookings InstitUtion analysis

reports that 75% of the proposed f978 federal budget -is to/.be directed

toward,n6ndefense activities. Only slx Years ago, the Defense Department's

budget alone exceeded the Health, Education and Welfare Departmental.

budget. But today, 75% of the 1978 Federal Government budget' $34J

billion --. flows into four general types ofnondefense programs:

I

Benefit Payment Programs, ,such as Supplemental SecurityIncome, Social Security, and Public Assistance';

.

to Social Investment Programs,, such as educational and ,health

program development funding;

o Physical nrestment in Natural-Resourses and'Commerce, such

as transOrtation systems; and,

Aid to State and Lo cal Governments, such as in General

_Revenue Sharing.

These foot- expenditure categoriks account for virtually all of the

nondefe se obl ati.ons to be incurred in FiScal Year 1978 by the Federal

GpVernm Interests of, people with disabilities are bound up in -dome

. measure w th most of the hundreds of programs, departments,-agencies, and

buraus-t at have 15ien given responsibility ,to deploy these funds. )Hence,

one must not rule out a specific assistance provam as .a potential source

of cliSability fund's or services just because ifs statutory purposes _are

ge eral. and handicapped individuals ..axe not precisely stipulated as eligi-

ble recipients. The General ReVenue Sharing program i-s- one such undr4r-t

uti ized example that comes immediately to mind. Cop/et-Se*, a .person

1may have a "cert i f teds",h ndicap but he or she may also posseas an /affirma-tive eligibiliq' as a v teran, a poor :pera,on, a woman, a senior citizen orsim ly, a citizen. - We must indeed learn to be more clever and tenaciousin t e futur.e in seeks g disability funds and look beyond the traditional;;:atego .,es, label, an entitlethents to which we have 'become accilstOmed..This-is one iirodut o7 big gov.,e'rnment to which we must increasing,ly adjust,.

A second characteristic Of American- Government in. actioi in recentdecades also Makes ery c.omplex-[he task of just comprehensively, describingthe federal effort in the disability More than 100 discrete legis-lative Programs o. proqisioni of law specificallyauthorCzing suis of moneys

be spfnt onl upon programs- or .for persons with hgndicaps have beenenact\d. Most of these -programs: are sei,11 on the books today, it beinghighly, uncharacteristic or, government to ever 'abandon a" mission it once'chooses' tound rtake, 'howev'er narrow. onsequently, the, often-criticizecharacle istic, of fragthentation prevails Peaause so many administrativelyseperate \disabilsity .program l'emen ts are scattered throughout Federalgovernment perat.ions.

-But in government, total,ly'new structures are really'rarely c,,reated.,they afe rather.,4ra-fted into or °imposed upon. the existing organizationalorder. . J'lle disability field- ha,s experienced this over two ,decades of

sec:ady evolutlionary growat. Program development has been marked' by theenaameht o[7-extensive legislation 'and appropriations thereto, tsy theestabl,kshment of presiciehtial.advigory bodies, by the creation of executiveageticy Structures and congreseici'rial committees 'with missions/serving the

. handicapped., and by the budgeting of funds for the literally dozens offinancral.aSsistance progr.imsoutlined dri this 'book. A mosaic of federaldisability s-upport -- albeit fragmented and often instif ficient7.- in health; education, rehabilitation, public ,welfare, Social Security,veterans programs,- basic and applied research, and in many., other areas.DCsability` has emerged' as the focus of, substantival federal activity onbehal f of a special populat,ion of American citizens.

Andther characteristic of Ntibe-Americag system of government iscritical i,n term's of how federal dollars are 'actuaTly made available forintended 'programs orpurposes. - This is the principle of Federalism. The

tt

T'enth Atiendment to the linited States Constit,ution provides that rpowersnot delegated to the Federal Government are .reserved respectively to thesta.te_s, or to the, pedple." From this Eighteenth century' constitutionalstatement stems our basic "notion of dividine jurisdictional responsibil-ities between Federal and State .Governrriants. The fiscal implications ofFederal ism are enormotus- in, that states,d. also other special purposeunits of local subdivision. governmetfre, often share with the FederalGovernment the administrative re'Sponsikilites 'for diabutsing categorical orblock grant funds-34 But until the 19301s,, when-municipal bankruptcy leg-, i,s-lation was enacted-, there were virtually, no National Government programsinvolving a direct relationship with ,Local Fits of government. Local turf,,

was seen as the inviolate territory of' the state or thd locality. itstlf,

and this traditionia depply imbedded in our system of public administra-

.:on. Hence, many of the national /programs delineated in this financial

.assistance catalogue deploy funds to so-called "designated" state agencies

which' in turn make these funds available for speCific purposes to eligible,

applicants on a state-wide basis. Sometimes the state has considerablelatitude to determine spencLingpriorities, as in the Title XXt Social

Services program:

biBUNKING BUDGET CALCULATIONS

Something is absolutely sorcerous about the way in which the Federal

Government reports to the publiC how much'money is.being spent On.a parti-

cula'rprogram or purpose. Estimates, for example, on-the total amount of

federal funds presently being spent for,programs for disabled persons are

in' the range of $20. billion annually . . Individual programs such'as the

Supplemental Sec'urity Income Program, Medicaid, and Veterans Programs

report annual fund totals that exceed the entire annual budgets of'all

except for a few entire state governments or One of our biggest cities..

The mind has difficulty grasping -the true meaning of these sums. When

these multibillion dollar figures are ptblically reporee0 by government as

straightforward evidence'of the intensityof federal ov'state concern for

. disabled people,one is understandably moved. Vait sumg of money, are being

spent,aren't they? Why, theq,,does such a, large gap.ex.i.stbetween what is,

spent and what is done?.

/

' . , .

One answer is in the way cost -analysior program budgeting calcula-

tions are made, which is byextraptilating'often misleading totals from the

global -level of program effort being, made for many :purposes other -than

disability alone, What portion of Federal Highway Trust Funds are consumed

by disabled drivers on tihe road? What`-portion of fiscal 'acti'vity is

'attributable to disability research im the 'basic, research budget of the

National Institutes of Health (NIH)? Unfortunately% it is just plain

easier for the persons prepdring cost-analysis estimates to usually in-

clude, when in doubt, all funds potentially relevant to the problem; to

prepare, .for instance, an accurate NIH fiscal record on, disOility would

require an individual criterion - referenced reyiew and longitudinal follow-.

up of virtually every intramural and extramural research grant, research

contract, or intramural expenditure made by. the.agency.

Similarly,, a hig hly decentralized service. progr am like the $2.5

billion Social Services Block Grant Program, states exercise such latitude

in categories of expenditures and kederal .reporting that only the roughest

national estimate is pbssibl'e. For many programs "the handicapped' are not

separately broken-ouf by accounting cells or expenditure categories.

In short, the ability to predict or project total federal ekPenclitures

for persons with disabilities' or for literally. dozens of other subsets of

the American- popula on is very poor, and therefore easily

1-3

The totals that are repofied may have an authoritative air about them,but perhaps this is only because they are announced by a government agency,congressman, or president seeking to assuage the public's nagging fears 4fcontinuing inatrntion to a pressing social problem,

HOW DO I USE THIS BOOK T.0 OBTAIN ASSISTANCE?

The first thing you do is reic?(it carp-fully. Yea, e ry last monot-:onotis page. Do not assume thdt the compilers could possibly have assembled*the hook as neatly as a- Sears Catalogue where .you just fli to the indexand look up "refrigerators" on page thus and, such. In fact, don't hesitateto go to the original source document; The,Catalogueof Federal Domestic_Assistance. Although all of the information -contained ;TTITs book isrelevant to disability it some way, the book's actual orgskizlition ispretty arbitrary and you will 'miss a lot if .you read only some individualsections and skip others. 'Try to get an idea fliod your first reading ofthe breadth of federal programs. We believe you will be sur.pri,sed .at thenumber o( assistance programs' potentially relevant to your interests.Write each of these pertinent programs downas part of the shopping listvou have now begun to develOP.

Next, focus in on one program that especially interests you.. Re-readthe entire text just as has.been,repinted from the current, Catalogue ofFederal Domestic Assistance. , Pay special attention to the subsectionsstipulating eligibility, to make:sure.you may be, and information contacts,to tell you where to go next.' For most programs, phone numbers and add-resses are 'given butthig is,only:a moderately reliable tooll-r:- a begin-,,ning. People in federal and state jobs change positions or Are transferredand bureaus are abolished daily; published phone numbers and addresses keepqack of these events about as well as a year-old.city telephone directory.You should, erefore, +prepare, for- a potentially labyrinthian jQ,urney,depnding upon the variables encountered, remembering alpng the'way thatyou want to es ablish on-going 'contact with a person well-inforiMed aboutresponsibility Jfr .,,the program in which you are-interestsq.

. RealizeespeciallY that alike any large organization, departments of Federal Gov-ernment have manY employees who have little' knowledge of what is going-onin another agency.\ Learn to identify knowledgeable people who will becomeyour best sources' of information'wh'en you-are °spinning your wheels and

'getting boun;,gi, hack and forth from one agency to another. Be open andhonest-with them about yout- intentions and they will be formidable allies.,Above alT,,be tenacious -but polite.

Learn also to use coordlnating offices, such as- the Office for Handi-capped Individuals (OHI)., and referrl centers,, for Startingpoints. Staffat these coordinating ox, informational agencied are usually eager to ,helpand are khowledgeable, &specially if they have been in the business-for

- awhile. But 1pe forewainedithat many so-called Fedefal ] nformation Centersmay refer you to an employee.whe is not knowledgeable about disability andia not in a position to be of much help. For example, as f test we

this will change as.' Phformation p-eoducers, learn more about the jargon of

ALLENCES AHEAD

'When I was inaugurated Governor of Georgia,in-Januaryof 1971, [ made a speech, and I said in that SouthernState the time for'racial di.scrimination over, and I,

say Co ytu tonight the time for discrimination against

''the handitapped in the United States is over."

May 23, 1,977Jimmy Carter

to the First White HouseConference on Handicapped'individuals

The year 1977 will later be remembered as a watershed point in therapidly developing histo o the disability field. This is 'so partly

because of several key,evenis,such"as initial implemelitation of S,ction 504

. civil rights legislation,, the holding of-a WhiCe House Conference, thesu)stantial.entryof,the Federal Government' into underwriting theedvationof handicapped children; in t.rends toward deinstAutionalization%laffirma-tive actiaon, and in the formation.of heretofore' new coalitions of peoplewith disabilities advocating more articulately for themselves than non-

disabled people ever could hope to do' for them. - These events signal a1sense of agitationtafoot of dissatisfaction; and of the new and renewedcommitment that are often the 'precursors of positive soCial change. But.

the historical neglect in our society's attitude toward and treatment ofpeople with disabilities, especially people- with severe disabilities, is

' deeply rooted. Such patiently suffered abuse and injustice have become.

even more unendurable now that the gepuine expectation of escaping them is

beginning to cross more men's and women's minds. Sensitivities and ex:-pectattons hayse come very acute.

SECTION 1

FORMULA GRANTS TO STATES

Introduction

O

Thil section presents an inventory of formula grants made available.to

states.and -(designated by "A"); and also, similar-.

formula grant programs which contain a certain amount of monies for

special projects of regional or national signifitance (designated by

"A, B").4

In order to-receive a formula gr., nt,,,State applicants must submit an

operating plan to the Federal Government' specifying how they will

spend the .money $n aocordnce with the appropriate guidelines.Information on the Stilte operating plan. is available from the State

admihistering agency. " ..

(A) Formula grants to States provide support ;o ongoing State programs

usually'for improvement, expansion or innovation. States are auto-

matically sligibte for a share of these funds. the amount of funds

each State receives is determined by a formula which takes many'

factors into ,account. Factors commonly used are populatioh unem-

ployment rate, income levels and numbers of disabled persons or

disabled veterans. The foimula .is set by law ancyach formula is

unique. Public v.r..,,Eivate organizations wishing to explore funding

of projects under formula granes at the Stite level must directlys.c

'contact the administering State office. Matching funds may be,

reqUiied.

(A,B) ,Some formula grant programs contain a specific amount of,monies'for

.special projects of regional or national significance. these

programs operate under the same gujdelines as "A" type grants,

except that y,law, a certain amount of money, is set ,aside by 'the

'-Federal administering agency to als9'fiind, special projects. Public

or private, organizations .wishinvto, explore funding 'through- the

. special, projects component must directly contact theHederal or

.regional office- of the" apptopriate' Pederalad6inisteritti 'agency..

The more than 20 inclutions in 'this section run a wide gamut in

terms of the Federal administering agencies involved, the relative

amounts of funds available, and the breadth otmarrownes of program

mission. Four Cabinet-level_ Federal" Departments and the Veteran'-.

Administrotion are represented.' These are Agriculttire,. Labor

(DOL), Housing and Urban Development (HUD) andsHealth, Education' and'

Welfare (HEW). Most of the formula grant progtams included are

Comprehensive Training and Employment Act. In'eash of these cases,citizens of lodal communities and also state government are involvpdin the setting of priorities which can include, for example, thezdevelopment of adaptive'and alternative community housing arrange-Yments and also, job training and employment. Three Veterans Admin-istration Programs provide' relatively small formula grants to statesopefating VA approved, but state: run domiciliary care, nursing careand state hospital care:

All other formula grant programs listed in this Section a,r,e adminis-tered by HEW and they run the range from educational grant programs
