Legislative Authority: The Community
Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act of
1981, as amended by section 680 (a)(2)
of the Community Opportunities,
Accountability, and Training and
Educational Services Act of 1998.
Amount of Award: $663,263.00.
Project Period: September 30, 2005 to
September 29, 2008.
SUMMARY: The purpose of the
Community Economic Development
(CED) grants is to create new
employment and business development
opportunities for low-income
individuals. The Office of Community
Services (OCS) awarded a $663,263 CED
grant (Grant No. 90EE0720) to Hall
Neighborhood House in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, on September 29, 2005.
Prior to the expenditure of any of the
grant funds, the grantee informed OCS
in a letter dated April 17, 2006, that it
wished to ‘‘relinquish the management
and operation of this program effective
immediately.’’ The letter stated the
grantee’s ‘‘current financial instability’’
as the reason for the action.
In an attempt not to lose the benefits
for the community that were intended
through the CED grant, OCS identified
a possible replacement recipient: Action
for Bridgeport Community
Development, Inc (ABCD). The
organization is being considered as a
replacement recipient for the following
reasons:
• ABCD is a previously successful
CED grantee (grant #90EE0546).
• ABCD is headquartered
approximately a mile and a half from
the offices of Hall Neighborhood House
(HNH) in Bridgeport, CT and will serve
the same community. Also, ABCD and
HNH have worked together in the past
and reportedly have maintained a good
working relationship.
• ABCD has a significantly
sophisticated budget to manage this
project effectively. (In 2003, the

organization had gross receipts of

• ABCD was recently selected by the
Head Start Bureau to be the successor
grantee of HNH’s active Head Start
grant.
• ACF Region I Administrator Hugh
Galligan speaks highly of the
performance of ABCD and has
recommended that it be the replacement
recipient.
OCS has received and reviewed an
application from ABCD. Upon finding
that the proposed project is significantly
similar to the one chosen for funding
through HNH, OCS has requested that
ABCD be approved as the permanent
replacement recipient for Grant No.
90EE0720.
