Abstract | Provided in this report are the text of and explanatory statements about the conference agreement reached by House and Senate committee members concerning the Human Services Reauthorization Act of 1986 (later to become Public Law 99-425). The Act authorizes 4 years of appropriations to continue several existing human services programs of the federal government, and also includes provisions creating two new federal programs. Funding was authorized for the Head Start, Follow Through, State Dependent Care Development Grants, Community Services Block Grant, Community Food and Nutrition, and Low Income Home Energy Assistance programs. For these programs, appropriations are authorized for fiscal years 1987 through 1990. Also authorized are a Child Development Associate (CDA) scholarship program and Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) demonstration projects. The CDA scholarship program authorizes grants to states to assist eligible low income candidates for the CDA credential, a performance-based certification for child care providers. The CSBG demonstration projects are authorized to develop innovative responses to the critical needs of the poor. The act further authorizes studies of beginning reading methods and youth employment, and makes a technical change in the Excellence in Education Act. (RH) |
