Summary

The Secretary must provide technical help and training, either directly or by grants, contracts, or other agreements, so the programs in this law work well. No money goes to any public or private group under this rule unless the people getting the services have a chance to help choose the provider and to review the services they receive. Help can be given to community development corporations and urban and rural cooperatives. That help can cover planning, management, legal support, feasibility studies, product development, marketing, and stipends to bring skilled professionals to work with these groups. Training can be on the job, in classrooms, or by scholarships to build managerial, business, planning, technical, and organizational skills.
