U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Community Economic Development Projects

Program Description

The purpose of this program is to enhance job creation and business development for individuals with low income. Community Economic Development (CED) projects are expected to actively recruit individuals with low incomes to fill the positions created by CED-funded development activities, to assist those individuals in successfully maintaining employment, and to ensure that the businesses and jobs created remain viable for at least one year after the project period.
