D, FEDERAL FUNDS FOR OPERATING
PURPOSES

There are many on-going Federal programs tor
operating purposes. Most of these are trom the De-
partment of Health, Education and Welfare to the
States. This handbook will not attempt to list them,
but rather concentrate on the few.programs of other
agencies or those directed to local governments.

National Health Service Corps (13.258)
The NHSC was set up to improve the delivery of
health care and services in areas critically short of
health personnel. The Secretary of HEW may assign
personnel to designated communities, with emphasis
on primary medical or dental care. The number and

type of people assigned will depend on the nature of
shortages.
Eligible applicants are States, local health agencies,
and non-profit health organizations. The local match-
ing requirements are set up for each individual case.
Assignments are normally for a period of two years.
There are about 551 health personnel now in 310
communities, including two being assigned to Green
River, Wyoming.

gives to the states (for state and local agencies), there
are discretionary funds available. The emphasis has
been given to reducing crime in major cities and de-
veloping state criminal justice standards. Although
the competition is strong, there may be some funds
for the unusual problems of impacted communities.
Eligible applicants are States and local governments,
or combinations of agencies. Funds may be spent for
salaries, operating expenses and some capital costs.

per cent for capital grants.
