Unlike previous Administrations, we
haven't referred to this effort ih grand stiategicterms and we
haven't framed this as 'a government only approach.
som~
As ,.a result,
aren't as familiar with the President's Empowerment strategy
and the very positive results that.are being achieved.
When he first entered office, the President asked several of us
to' develop an approach to r,evitalizing our distressed communities
that was comprehensive, that focused on bottom":upsolutlons, and
that provided people with hope and opportunity, while asking for
oJ'
responsibility in return.
'
Everyone knew that the keyA:o
revitalizing distressed communities was to get the private sector
to invest in distressed areas:

�businesses certainly wouldn't move into places, no matter how
many tax credits you provide them ,with, if crime was, rampant or
if 'potential workers lacked training; and potential woikers can't
take jobs if they aren't able to get child care or health
insurance for their families.
That is why this Administration developed the Empowerment
Zone/Enterprise Community (EZ/EC) program.
Unlike previous
Enterprise Zone legislation, the EZ/EC initiative provides a'
comprehensive approach to tackling problems of inner cities and
poor rural areas. The President's Ez/~c program foc~sed on long
range strategic planning, involving the ideas
segments of a community.

visions of all
We didn't tell communities what we
wanted from them, we asked them to tell us what they needed from
us.
And while we provided tax incentives for businesses to hire
workers and expand operations, we also provided communities with
grants to, finance those, activities which will best
s~pport
sustainable economic development.
And the Zones and Communities are already improving America's
cities and rural areas.
According to early data, we know that
every $1 in obligated EZ funds is leveraging $18 in private
investment.
In,Detroit alone, thousands ~f new jobs have been
created and $2 billion in private sector commitments have been
made.
Yet, more can and does need to be done.
And that is where
you and your universities can play an important role.
�I.want to talk a bit more about the EZ/EC's and about three other
initiatives where I think you have a big role to play

University Involvement in Welfare-To-Work
The welfare reform law signed by President Clinton represents one
of the most significant shifts in social policy in five decades.
No longer will welfare recipients be left to languish on public
assistance. Instead, President Clinton's historic legislation
will help recipients move from dependency on welfare to self
sufficiency through work.
,
But, with this historic new law comes a challenge: moving
families off welfare, and into the workforce.
As University Presidents and Chancellors, and leaders in your
communities, you have an opportunity to play an important role in
meeting the welfare-to-work challenge.
, First, you can e
ucate your students and members of
surrounding community abou
ppportunities '. availao-re1~t:::o=-=-::-::-::-;t7==-=-=~::';";~

w
You ,can act as the catalyst for local conversations about
welfare reform within the university and within the
sorrounding community;
Your university can serve as a community clearinghouse ,for
information;
If you: don't already have them, you can .add course
selections addressing the plight of the poor and welfare
reform.
•
•
Second~ou can 'offer tect-mical assistance to community-based
organizations trying to get welfare-to-work programs off-the
ground, or you can offer direct training to welfare recipients.
•
For organizations trying to start microenterpriseor self
employment programs for welfare recipients, you might
provide classrooms for training, or provide the
entrepreneurial training in conjunction with the
organization;
"
You could provide market-based classroom training for,
recipients, or on-the-job training in actual employment
positions within the university.

Third, you can encourage studen:ts-to-'l.lOlunteer_xheir time ang

Fourth, you can hire welfare recipients.

C~USOFLEARNERS
Talking Points
The Campus of 'Learners initiative is a good example of several key
components of the President's vision for addressing some of our nation's
complex' problems: 1) the critical role of technology and
telecommunications; 2) the importance of public-private partnerships; and
3) the need to re-establish community.
A significant portion -- and a very visible portion -- of public housing
in our nation is not serving one of its original roles: to provide a safe and·
decent place to live for low-inCome Americans who need temporary help
in getting ahead. The isolation that is fostered in some public housing is .
particularly debilitating to its residents -- isolation from the job market,
from training skills, from the technology and knowledge that so many of
us take for granted. These are all connections and opportunities that we
.all recognize are critical to survival in today's economy, and without
them, many public housing developments' have become dead-end roads to
, dependency.
Secretary Cisneros launched the Campus of Learners initiative to help end
this isolation and provide the connections necessary for families to get
ahead. This initiative is a challenge to public housing authorities and
communities across the country to come together in transforming public
housing communities into communities of opportunity.
In these' communities, participants will enroll in an educational program of
some kind -- for example, in telecommunications, computer technology,
or job training. Apartments in many of these sites will be wired to give
residen ts access to the latest computer technology, helping to close the
gap between the "information haves" and the "information have-nots."
Residents will agree to a time limit and, using these education, training
and job opportunities, will work to "graduate" into self-sufficiency and
independent lives.
The key to creating' these. Campus of Learners and providing expanded
opportunities is establishing partnerships with relevant players in the
communities -- businesses, telecommunications hubs, community centers,
service agencies, churches, school districts, and very importantly, the
talent and resource-filled universities and community colleges.
�It is important to note -:- not only. for accuracy, but to understand the
nature of this and other of thePresirlent's initiatives -~ that Campus of
Learners designation does not.come attached to a pot of money.
Designation gives the public housing authority and partners access to.
. federal technical assistance, priority for expedited waivers, and priority
consideration in other !IUD funding. But more importantly, it requires
the public housing authority to layout a strategic plan for how the public
housing development will. become a campus of learning and expanded
opportunities.. And the key 'to this is partnerships with players in the
cOmmunity around them.
.
As many of you know, this initiative did not arise out of HUD's ivory
towers, but is built upon the partnerships that soine of you have been
involved in for years .. In fact, two of the 25 designated Campus of
Learners sites announced by Secretary Cisneros just a few weeks ago
(Sept. 27) involve partnerships with two universities here -- Temple
(President Liacouras) and the University of Pittsburgh (Chancellor
'O'Connor). And I believe that Wayne State (President Adamany) is
working with the Detroit Housing Authority, and probably others of you,
as well. .
'
. These sort of partnerships are critical to ending the isolation in public
housing communities and helping residents move to self-sufficient lives.
And they help universities by keeping the' communities in which you exist
safe and thriving. And the federal government is putting an increasing
emphasis on these partnerships and collaborations in awarding grants -
for example, HUD's HOPE VI funds, just announced this week, reward
public' housing authorities who have entered into partnerships with the
educational institutions around· them.
.
..
Campus of Learners is not the only vehicle for establishing such
. partnerships. But it has helped to crystallize the concept and partnerships
that already existed and can serve as an inspiration to new ones .
If you are not already doing so, I urge you to reach out to, ~he public
.housing authority in your community. If you would like more
information about the Campus of Learners initiative from our end, you
can call: Chris Hornig, Deputy Assistant Secretary Jor Public and Indian
Housing, at 2021708-0614 x4175. '

MEMORANDUM FOR CAROL RASCO
FROM: .
Paul Weinstein
SUBJECT: Talking Points On University/College Involvement
In EZs and ECs
\
Background
The record on. universities and colleges assisting
Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities (EZ/EC)is mixed.
Apparently, the best work being done is the joint partnership
between the Department of Agriculture and the 1890 Land Grant
Universities. These 18 predominantly black universities and
institutes have received some $10 million ($2.4 million this
year) .to provide technical assistance to ECs and Champion
Communities.
In Louisiana, Southern University was given a grant
to help create a financial intermediary (a Community Development
Corporation) to make capita~ 9vailable to individuals in
distressed rural communities.
The other key partnership between a university and an EZ is
the one between Columbia University and the Harlem EZ in New York
City. In the Harlem Zone, Columbia University, the City and
State of N.Y., and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone
Development Corporation are trying to establish a technology park
to house biotech businesses who will take advantage of the EZ tax
.breaks and other incentives.
Talking Points
Universities can and are providing three kinds of
assistance:
1. Technical assistance regarding the implementation of the
strategic plans.
In many rural communities these plans are
complicated and the ECs and ChampionCoIDmunities lack the
expertise to implement their strategic visions successfully.
Universities can be very helpful ,in ,this endeavor.
2. Technical assistance on appiications being completed by
the ECs and Champion Comm~nities as they apply for funding
from other programs that ar.e suppprting their strategic
plaris.
3. Co-investors in ce+tain projects .thatare designed to
provide financing for low-income families living in Zones,
Communities, or Champion Communities. One example is for
universities to become investors in Communitiy Development
Financial Corporations that invest and lend t~ communi:Jy
residents. Universities can sit on the boards of these. .

�COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT
. "There needs to be a new partnership between Washington and the
communities and the individuals oj this country, and there needs to be a way oj
doing business in which we try. to create the conditions in whichpeople can
seize opportunities. "
President Bill Clinton
- January 19, 1994
President Clinton's Community Empowerment Agenda -- a series of initiatives across the
government -- is designed to empower'our nation's distressed urban and rural communities to
create greater opportunity. The President's agenda represents a new approach to creating jobs
and revitalizing neighborhoods. President Clinton recognizes th~t top-down, big-government
solutions are not the answer to every community's problems and that enhanced public-private
partnerships are essential. Three specific principles underlay the agenda's programs: (1) the
private sector must be involved because it, not the government, is the driver of economic
opportunity; (2) there must be bottom-up, community-driven solutions that bring people
together; and (3) government at all levels must improve the way it serves communities.
A RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT:
•
Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities (EZ/EC): Thirteen years after
the first enterprise zone legislation was introduced, President Clinton's EZIEC initiative
became law. - The initiative challenged communities to develop comprehensive
strategies for revitalizing their neighborhoods, with the input of a wide array of
community partners. The initiative provides tax incentives and other tools to
designated communities over a ten-year period. The Administration has already
designated 105 communities in 42 states. The Detroit Empowerment Zone alone has
I~unched 21 new developments, attracted over $2 billion in local private-sector
investment and created hundreds of new jobs.
•
Community Development Banks and Financial Institutions Fund (CDBFI):
CDBFI creates a network of community development banks and financial institutions .
in low- and moderate-income communities.' The program leverages $10 of private
investment for every $1 of federal investment. With $50 million appropriated for 1995
and $1.625 billion requested in the President's budget proposal for the next seven
years, the CDBFI will provide matching capital and other assistance to create and
expand community development banks and financial institutions..
•
Reformed Enforcement of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA): The
Administration issued revised regulations implementing the Community Reinvestment
. Act -- the law enacted in 1977 requiring financial institutions to lend in their host
communities. Under the revised regulations, banks will be judged on performance -
actual lending, investments and basic banking services-- rather than on paperwork.
Also, for the first time, banks will have the opportunity to receive CRA credit for
loans made for redeveloping old industrial waste sites ("Brownfields"). CRA reform
will unleash billions in new credit to distressed communities.
�•
Brownfields Redevelopment: President Clinton launched a Brownfields Initiative to
return land to productive use by providing tax incentives to clean up old industrial
waste sites. Anew $2 billion Brownfields tax in~entive is expected to leverage some
$10 billion in private clean ups nationwide and return to productive use as many as
30,000 Brownfields properties in America's distressed communities.
•
One-stop Capital Shops and Minority Business Development: . The Clinton
Administration has opened several one-stop capital shops in number of cities,
including Boston and Philadelphia, and plans to open many more -- all in accessible·
neighborhood locations. These shops will distribute millions in loans and investment
for 'small and minority~owned businesses over the next five years. Also, to encourage
capital investment in small and minority-owned businesses, the President signed
. legislation to provide capital gains tax relief for investments in certain venture capital
companies.
•
There are many other initiatives included in the President's Community Empowerment
Agenda, all designed to work together to help a~dress the problems that communities
face -- from job creation to education to public health and the environment. The
White House Community Empowerment Board, created by President Clinton, has
helped to ensure coordination· and responsiveness to communities in implementing
these initiatives.
a
THE CHALLENGES AHEAD:
By continuing to help people help themselves, President Clinton is giving people the tools to
rebuild distressed communities, which in the end. will.provide economic opportunity to all
Americans. To build on the success of the Community Empowerment Agenda, the President
has proposed in his FY 1997 budget that Congress act to designate a second round of
·Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities, as well as a tax incentive to encourage the
clean up and redevelopment of Brownfields.
•
•
May 1996
Asecond round. of EZIEC designations would continue to stimulate private-sector
investment and economic opportunity in America's urban and rural communities.
As in the first round, the President will challenge communities to develop their
own comprehensive strategic plans for revitalization andct~ate broad
. partnerships. The Administration will provide tax incentives and grants to those
communities that developed the most innovative plans and garnered significant
. local and private-sector commitments.
In May 1996, the President issued an Executive Order that launched his
Empowerment Contracting Program which provides a supplement to existing
federal procurement programs and will offer special incentives for government
contract awards to businesses in distressed communities.
.
�University Involvement in Welfare-To-Work .
.The welfare reform .law .signed by President Clinton represents one
of the most significant shifts in social policy in five decades.
No. longer will welfare recipients be left to languish on public
assistance. Instead,· President Clinton's historic legislation
will help recipients move from dependency on ·welfare to self
sufficiency through work.
But, with this historic new law comes a challenge: moving
families off welfare and into the workforce.
As University Presidents and Chancellors, and leaders in your
communities, you have an opportunity to play an important role in
meeting the welfare-to-work challenge.
First, you ~an educate yo~r .studentsand members of ybur
surrounding community about the welfare system, and the new
opportunities available to welfare recipients.
•
•
•
You can act as the catalyst for local·conversations about
welfare reform within the university and· within the
sorrounding community;
Your university can serve as. a community clearinghouse ·for
information;
If you don't already have them, you can add course
selections addressing the plight of the poor and welfare.
reform.
Second, you can offer technical assistance to community-based
organizations trying to. getwelfare-to-workprograms off the
ground, or you can offer direct training to welfare recipients.
•
•
For organizations trying to start microenterprise or self
employment programs for welfare recipients, you might
provide classrooms for training, or provide the
entrepreneurial training in conjunction with the
organization;
You could provide market-based classroom training for
recipients, or on-the-job training in. actual employment
positions within the university.
Third, you can encourage students to volunb~er their time and
ideas toward meeting thewe~fare-to-work challenge.
•
•
Students can act as mentors and friends to welfare
recipients who are looking· for jobs, helping them w·i th their
resumes, job search and interview skills;
.
As part of a community service commitment, students can
volunteer thei+ time in welfare-to-work programs.
Fourth, you can hire welfare recipients.
•
•
Distribute job notices for university positions in welfare
offices;
,
Commit to hiring a certain number of welfare recipients
annually.
~o-work
�America' Reads
•
As I'm sure you are aware, President Clinton announced his America Reads challenge
in August. He has challenged all of us -- parents, educators, community groups,
religious organizations, ~e business community, and higher education -. to tinite
behind an effort to make sure that every child is literate by the end of the 3rd grade.
•
We know that learning to read independently and well is the foundation for all other
learning and for success in schooL' If we can help all kids learn to read by age 8, we
will lay the foundation for educational success in every succeeding grade. Yet the
most recent (1994) results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress.
indicate that 40% of 4th graders can't read at the Basic level. So we have a lot of
work to do to meet the challenge.
•
The heart of the President'S Challenge is a national goal to mobilize 1 million tutors,
to provide more than 3 million children who are behind in reading with individualized
attention. and tutoring. This one-on-one tutoring, when coupled with effective teaching
and effective family involvement, is the key to improving reading. Research shows
that intensive, one-on-one help can significantly raise reading levels.
•
Institutions ofhigher education, especially in urban areas where the need for help with
reading is clear, can and must playa major role in this initiative. I'd like to challenge
you to make sure that each of your institutions, and other institutions of higher
education in your community, plays a major role in this effort. Here is what you can
do:
•
Use a portion of the work study funds you receive for community service
slots, devoted specifically to this initiative. In a commencement speech at
Penn State last Spring, the President challenged institutions of higher education
to devote some work study slots for community service efforts, in addition to
on campus work. The appropriations bill the President signed last week
included a $213 million increase in Work Study funds (approximately 34%
increase). Challenge the schools to devote some of the new slots funded by
this (25%???) for the reading challenge.
•
Work in collaboration with local Americorps projects, and with other local
efforts, to mobilize college students to serve as reading volunteers.
•
Join with other urban colleges and universities, the business community,
the school system and general government, to form a city-wide consortium
to support reading. Use Read Boston as an example.
•
·e
Encourage your faculty to develop readable, user-friendly materials for
parents, to help them take the steps to support early reading in their
. families. Work With community groups--religious organizations, pediatricians
and hospitals, libraries, etc. to distribute the materials widely.
�PRESIDENT CLINTON'S" AMERICA READS" CHALLENGE
August 27, ·1996
e
"AMERICA READS" CHALLENGE: TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY CHILD IS LITERATE BY .
THE END OF THE 3RD GRADE. Parental Responsibility and Community Responsibility will be the
Backbone of this Effort. Only with a strong, nationwide effort by all Americans -- parents, community
groups, religious organizationS, teachers, principals, and I>rivate sector leadership, will America be able to
mobilize the national effort necess~ to make sure that all children are reading independently by the-end of
the 3rd grade. To help catalyze these efforts, and help community leaders, parents, and educators across the
.
country, the President is proposing the $2.75· billion"America Reads" Challenge.
Four Main Components ofPresident Clinton's "America Reads" Challenge:
1.
Parents As First Teachers Challenge Grants. The President proposes a Parents as First Teachers
Challenge Grant Fund that invests in success by supporting effective, proven efforts that provide
assistance to parents who want to help their children become successful readers by the end of 3rd
grade. $300 million in grantswill be available over 5 years to national and regional groups as well
as local communities and organizations.• ($300 million FY98 - FY2002).
II. America's Reading Corps: .Individualized After-School and Summer Tutoring for More Than
3 Million Children in Grades K-3 Who Want and Need It. The President's proposal provides·
$2.450 billion to support tutoring efforts. $1.45 billion in net new investments over 5 years, in
e
addition to $1 billion already specified in President Clinton's balanced budget for National Service
participants will be directed specifically to this reading challenge.
•
30,000 Reading Specialists and Volunteer Coordinators would be funded to help Communitie~
provide extra reading help before and after school and during the summers for the 20,000
schools with the greatest need - reaching more than 3 million children.
•
National Goal To Mobilize 1 Million Tutors. Study after study shows that individualized tutorin,
can work to raise reading level -- particularly when combined with effective in-school teaching an(
family involvement. Only if all sectors of our national community rise to the challenge will we be
able to mobilize the 1 million tutors needed to provide individual attention to all young children
who need reading assistance. With the help of 30,000 coordinators and reading specialists, along
with college work study stud~nts and RSVP Senior Volunteers, the President hopes to move the
nation towards this goals.
•
Building on the Success of Thousands .of Community Programs and National Service.
This initiative builds on the success of community tutoring programs and National Service
programs like AmeriCorps and RSVP Senior volunteers in developing and coordinating
effective tutoring program. 11,000 AmeriCorps members will work in local communities as tutor
coordinators to assist communities in their locally-designed reading efforts.
III. Providing 1 Million 3 and 4 year-olds with a Head Start. President Clinton's balanced budget
includes a major expansion of Head Start so that it can reach 1 million pre-school children in 2002.
IV. Challenge to Private Sector; This national effort will only be successful if those in the private and
non-profit sector return to the President's "America Reads" challenge. This new "America Reads"
initiative builds on Clinton Administration efforts to work with the Private Sector in helping our
children learn how to read, such as the "Partnership for Family Involvement in Education" and
"Read*Write*Now." .

Dear Kim:
It was a pleasure to meet you at the NASCHIP 1996 conf:erence at
which I spoke in Santa Fe, on October 10th. I am conf'ident that
Tom Hoyer, if he hasn't already done so, will be able Ito answer
your child advocacy question you raised in the elevator
following my speech.
i
The NASCHIPconference was indeed an impressive showing of
individuals like yourself who work hard everyday to provide
health care to citizens who otherwise would not have ~ffordable
and desperately needed health insurance. As I stated lin Santa'
Fe, the NASCHIP conference was a remarkable demonstration of
states coming together in a sustained effort to share information
across programs.
Thank you for your continued commitment, to the healthlcare
industry and to people in need. I look forward to working with

What a great pleasure it was to meet and travel with ~ou to speak

want to thank you for taking your time to both come td my office

session.
As I stated in Santa .Fe, the NASCHIP conference was a .remarkable
demonstration of s~ates coming together in a sustained effort to
share information across programs. What made it even Imore
exciting was our ability to bring Washington, both policy and
program, to those indivduals who work harq everyday tq provide
health care to citizens who otherwise would not have ~ffordable
and desperately needed health insurance.
I
It has certainly been gratifying to have so many peoPl!e at the
conference, as well as some that have contacted me her1e, comment
on how informative and app:r::oachable you. were. Everyone
appreciated your.ability and desire to listen to thei~ comments
and answer their questions. As I mentioned, the Depar1tment of
Health and Human Services should utilize your talents as much as
possible by sending you out to the public more often. I
Thank you again for your assistance and for your continued
commitment to the health care industry and to people ih need.
