VI. SOURCES OF ASSISTANCE

Help may consist of a word of advice, a useful reo
port, or money. This chapter presents four major
types of aid:

Technical assistance
Funds for planning and management
Funds for capital projects
Funds for operating purposes

When it comes to funds, only those given by Fed.
eral programs are listed. A book listing every possible
program for all of the 50 States would be massive.
Instead, there is listed for each State the State agency
of local affairs which can direct you to programs in
addition to those listed here and in previous chapters.
The Federal programs listed in this chapter have
been partially screened, with emphasis on those which
have actually been used by impacted communities and
States. Those which come automatically, such as
General Revenue Sharing, are not listed. These pro.
grams are those which will take some initiative on your
part.

NOTE: The names, addresses and phone numbers
indicated are as of the date of publication and may
change in some cases by the time you use this book.

A. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

The people and agencies listed here don't offer
money - but money is not the first thing you need.
To start out well, you need good information to
figure out what impacts are expected and what the
appropriate responses are.
Sources of technical assistance include public and
private agencies and groups, at the national, regional
and state levels - sources that could be useful to you.
The list is not inclusive for there are too many people
active to get them all. Those listed should be able to
direct you to the ones who can best help you.

HUD

The first part of HUD's technical assistance is the
preparation and distribution of this report. It has
been designed to allow you to go directly to the
source for answers to your questions, so try that first.
Reports and references listed later (page 38) are availa.
ble from the sources listed, not from HUD.
Where HUD can help you is in identifying the right
office and person for technical or financial aid. The
Community Planning and Development staff in your
HUD regional office can also direct you to the appro.
priate office within HUD to discuss:

Comprehensive Planning Assistance (701)
Housing Programs
Community Development Block Grants
New Communities Assistance

Contacts: Assistant Regional Administrator for
Community Planning and Development,
Regional Office, HUD, listed on Inside
Back Cover (Table 5).

Federal Energy Administration

The Office of Energy Resource Development has
prepared and collected extensive studies on the im-
pacts associated with the building of new energy
projects. This office also has information on energy
needs, on plant siting and approval processes, and on
the experience of other communities. Contact regional
energy resource development coordinators or regional
administrators for above data (See Table 3). Concerns
or inquiries relating to a major problem or national
issue (which cannot be responded to at the regional
level) should be directed to:

Development, FEA, 12th SI. and Pennsyl-

Coastal Zone Management

The Office of Coastal Zone Management in the De-
partment of Commerce has given a lot of attention to
the impacts of energy projects in coastal zones. These
zones will be the locations of onshore support facilities
for offshore oil and gas exploration and production.
In addition, many nuclear power plants will be located
in coastal zones because of their need for coolant
water.
Most of the CZM effort goes through the State
planning programs (see following). The Office has put
together a concise report on the likely impacts, which
may be especially useful to coastal communities. It
is available from the Washington office of CZM.
