development opportunities for lowincome people through business or
commercial development. The
opportunities must aim to improve the
quality of the economic and social
environment of TANF recipients; lowincome residents including displaced
workers; individuals transitioning from
the prison system into the community;
at-risk youth; non-custodial parents,
particularly those of children receiving
TANF assistance; individuals residing

economic feasibility of the venture.
Applicants for an OP must have in place
written commitments for all projected
non-CED funding required for the
