Summary

The Secretary must give technical help and training, either directly or by funding others, so the program works well. Any group that gets money must let the people helped take part in choosing and reviewing the services they get. Help for community development corporations and urban or rural cooperatives can include planning, management, legal help, feasibility studies, product development, marketing, and payments to bring in skilled professionals. Training can be on the job, in class, or paid by scholarships to build management, business, planning, technical, and organizational skills.
