REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General

OF THE UNITED STATES


Decisive Government Action Needed

To Resolve Problems Of Community

Action Programs In Los Angeles


The Greater Los Angeles Community Action
Agency, a community nonprofit organization
supported primarily with Federal funds, had
serious management and fiscal difficulties for
most of its 5-year existence. The absence of
clear guidance and decisive intervention by
the Community Services Administration con-
tributed to these problems.

In December 1978 the agency was dissolved.
Closedown audits and investigations will con-
tinue through the end of 1979, and perma-
nent sponsors for essential health, child edu-
cation, and social service programs have not
been selected.

The Community Services Administration
should establish clear guidelines, reconciling
Federal agencies' responsibilities to protect
Government funds with the maintenance of
local control. The Community Services
Administration should also consider obtaining
smaller community-based sponsors for com-
munity action programs in the Los Angeles
area.

This report was, ested by the Subcommit-
tee on Manpower and Housing, House Com-
mittee on Government Operations, and Con-
gressman Edward Roybal.
