I. . INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARX
by DaVid Braddock, Ph.D.
A
'Fifteen' or twenty years ago a publication pointng readers
toward
Federal government resources and programs fop--.-peopleWith
disabilities
would have been short and -easy reading. It could probably have
been
reviewed in roughly the amount of timdone ordint-il/ spend'swith
an
'informative newsletter. Today, a veritable financial tome Maits
your
exatottatid . This observation is ;,not Meant/as a criticism
jdst,a-
contrast-ing, contemporary description of.the,increased
comple!xity inherent
today in tr 'Jig to comprehensively gauge and report upon the
entire fed-
eral effort in the disability area. This mplexityclexlves
essentially
from three historical characteristic's of American Government in
action
which warrant brief disCussion.
'First, government, and 'eapecially the institutions used by
govern-'
merit to allocate financial recourses, have experienced
unprecedented growth
over the past two decades. Federal Governmpt expenditures have
increasedby nearly seven-fold in constant, dollars from the
relatively modest bud -
ge.tary aggregate of $69 billion in 1955 to a proposed $463
billion for
President Cartet's 1978 budget. Most of the increased
allocatiOns ate for
nondefense, domeztic purposes. Id fact, a Brookings InstitUtion
analysis
reports that 75% of the proposed f978 federal budget -is to/.be
directed
toward,n6ndefense activities. Only slx Years ago, the Defense
Department's
budget alone exceeded the Health, Education and Welfare
Departmental.
budget. But today, 75% of the 1978 Federal Government budget'
$34J
billion --. flows into four general types ofnondefense
programs:
I
Benefit Payment Programs, ,such as Supplemental SecurityIncome,
Social Security, and Public Assistance';
.
to Social Investment Programs,, such as educational and
,health
program development funding;
o Physical nrestment in Natural-Resourses and'Commerce, such
as transOrtation systems; and,
Aid to State and Lo cal Governments, such as in General
_Revenue Sharing.
These foot- expenditure categoriks account for virtually all of
the
nondefe se obl ati.ons to be incurred in FiScal Year 1978 by the
Federal
GpVernm Interests of, people with disabilities are bound up in
-dome
. measure w th most of the hundreds of programs,
departments,-agencies, and
buraus-t at have 15ien given responsibility ,to deploy these
funds. )Hence,
one must not rule out a specific assistance provam as .a
potential source
of cliSability fund's or services just because ifs statutory
purposes _are
ge eral. and handicapped individuals ..axe not precisely
stipulated as eligi-
ble recipients. The General ReVenue Sharing program i-s- one

learn to be more clever and tenaciousin t e futur.e in seeks g
disability funds and look beyond the traditional;;:atego .,es,
label, an entitlethents to which we have 'become
accilstOmed..This-is one iirodut o7 big gov.,e'rnment to which we
must increasing,ly adjust,.
A second characteristic Of American- Government in. actioi in

comprehensively, describingthe federal effort in the disability
More than 100 discrete legis-lative Programs o. proqisioni of law

today, it beinghighly, uncharacteristic or, government to ever
'abandon a" mission it once'chooses' tound rtake, 'howev'er narrow.
onsequently, the, often-criticizecharacle istic, of fragthentation
prevails Peaause so many administrativelyseperate \disabilsity
.program l'emen ts are scattered throughout Federalgovernment
perat.ions.
-But in government, total,ly'new structures are really'rarely
c,,reated.,they afe rather.,4ra-fted into or °imposed upon. the
existing organizationalorder. . J'lle disability field- ha,s
experienced this over two ,decades of
sec:ady evolutlionary growat. Program development has been
marked' by theenaameht o[7-extensive legislation 'and
appropriations thereto, tsy theestabl,kshment of
presiciehtial.advigory bodies, by the creation of executiveageticy
Structures and congreseici'rial committees 'with missions/serving
the
. handicapped., and by the budgeting of funds for the literally
dozens offinancral.aSsistance progr.imsoutlined dri this 'book. A
mosaic of federaldisability s-upport -- albeit fragmented and often
instif ficient7.- in health; education, rehabilitation, public
,welfare, Social Security,veterans programs,- basic and applied
research, and in many., other areas.DCsability` has emerged' as the
focus of, substantival federal activity onbehal f of a special
populat,ion of American citizens.
Andther characteristic of Ntibe-Americag system of government
iscritical i,n term's of how federal dollars are 'actuaTly made
available forintended 'programs orpurposes. - This is the principle
of Federalism. The
tt
T'enth Atiendment to the linited States Constit,ution provides
that rpowersnot delegated to the Federal Government are .reserved
respectively to thesta.te_s, or to the, pedple." From this
Eighteenth century' constitutionalstatement stems our basic "notion
of dividine jurisdictional responsibil-ities between Federal and
State .Governrriants. The fiscal implications ofFederal ism are
enormotus- in, that states,d. also other special purposeunits of
local subdivision. governmetfre, often share with the
FederalGovernment the administrative re'Sponsikilites 'for
diabutsing categorical orblock grant funds-34 But until the
19301s,, when-municipal bankruptcy leg-, i,s-lation was enacted-,
there were virtually, no National Government programsinvolving a
direct relationship with ,Local Fits of government. Local
turf,,
-
was seen as the inviolate territory of' the state or thd
locality. itstlf,
and this traditionia depply imbedded in our system of public
administra-
.:on. Hence, many of the national /programs delineated in this
financial
.assistance catalogue deploy funds to so-called "designated"
state agencies
which' in turn make these funds available for speCific purposes
to eligible,
applicants on a state-wide basis. Sometimes the state has
considerablelatitude to determine spencLingpriorities, as in the
Title XXt Social
Services program:
biBUNKING BUDGET CALCULATIONS
Something is absolutely sorcerous about the way in which the
Federal
Government reports to the publiC how much'money is.being spent
On.a parti-
cula'rprogram or purpose. Estimates, for example, on-the total
amount of
federal funds presently being spent for,programs for disabled
persons are
in' the range of $20. billion annually . . Individual programs
such'as the
Supplemental Sec'urity Income Program, Medicaid, and Veterans
Programs
report annual fund totals that exceed the entire annual budgets
of'all
except for a few entire state governments or One of our biggest
cities..
The mind has difficulty grasping -the true meaning of these
sums. When
these multibillion dollar figures are ptblically reporee0 by
government as
straightforward evidence'of the intensityof federal ov'state
concern for
. disabled people,one is understandably moved. Vait sumg of
money, are being
spent,aren't they? Why, theq,,does such a, large
gap.ex.i.stbetween what is,
spent and what is done?.
/
' . , .
One answer is in the way cost -analysior program budgeting
calcula-
tions are made, which is byextraptilating'often misleading
totals from the
global -level of program effort being, made for many :purposes
other -than
disability alone, What portion of Federal Highway Trust Funds
are consumed
by disabled drivers on tihe road? What`-portion of fiscal
'acti'vity is
'attributable to disability research im the 'basic, research
budget of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH)? Unfortunately% it is just
plain
easier for the persons prepdring cost-analysis estimates to
usually in-
clude, when in doubt, all funds potentially relevant to the
problem; to
prepare, .for instance, an accurate NIH fiscal record on,
disOility would
require an individual criterion - referenced reyiew and
longitudinal follow-.
up of virtually every intramural and extramural research grant,
research
contract, or intramural expenditure made by. the.agency.
Similarly,, a hig hly decentralized service. progr am like the
$2.5
billion Social Services Block Grant Program, states exercise
such latitude
in categories of expenditures and kederal .reporting that only
the roughest
national estimate is pbssibl'e. For many programs "the
handicapped' are not
separately broken-ouf by accounting cells or expenditure
categories.
In short, the ability to predict or project total federal
ekPenclitures
for persons with disabilities' or for literally. dozens of other
subsets of
the American- popula on is very poor, and therefore easily
1-3
-
The totals that are repofied may have an authoritative air about
them,but perhaps this is only because they are announced by a
government agency,congressman, or president seeking to assuage the
public's nagging fears 4fcontinuing inatrntion to a pressing social
problem,

HOW DO I USE THIS BOOK T.0 OBTAIN ASSISTANCE?
The first thing you do is reic?(it carp-fully. Yea, e ry last

have assembled*the hook as neatly as a- Sears Catalogue where .you
just fli to the indexand look up "refrigerators" on page thus and,
such. In fact, don't hesitateto go to the original source document;
The,Catalogueof Federal Domestic_Assistance. Although all of the
information -contained ;TTITs book isrelevant to disability it some
way, the book's actual orgskizlition ispretty arbitrary and you
will 'miss a lot if .you read only some individualsections and skip
others. 'Try to get an idea fliod your first reading ofthe breadth
of federal programs. We believe you will be sur.pri,sed .at

Next, focus in on one program that especially interests you..
Re-readthe entire text just as has.been,repinted from the current,
Catalogue ofFederal Domestic Assistance. , Pay special attention to
the subsectionsstipulating eligibility, to make:sure.you may be,

state jobs change positions or Are transferredand bureaus are
abolished daily; published phone numbers and addresses keepqack of
these events about as well as a year-old.city telephone
directory.You should, erefore, +prepare, for- a potentially
labyrinthian jQ,urney,depnding upon the variables encountered,
remembering alpng the'way thatyou want to es ablish on-going

Learn also to use coordlnating offices, such as- the Office for

ALLENCES AHEAD
'When I was inaugurated Governor of Georgia,in-Januaryof 1971, [
made a speech, and I said in that SouthernState the time for'racial
di.scrimination over, and I,
say Co ytu tonight the time for discrimination against
''the handitapped in the United States is over."
May 23, 1,977Jimmy Carter
to the First White HouseConference on
Handicapped'individuals
The year 1977 will later be remembered as a watershed point in
therapidly developing histo o the disability field. This is 'so
partly
because of several key,evenis,such"as initial implemelitation of
S,ction 504
. civil rights legislation,, the holding of-a WhiCe House
Conference, thesu)stantial.entryof,the Federal Government' into
underwriting theedvationof handicapped children; in t.rends toward
deinstAutionalization%laffirma-tive actiaon, and in the
formation.of heretofore' new coalitions of peoplewith disabilities
advocating more articulately for themselves than non-
disabled people ever could hope to do' for them. - These events
signal a1sense of agitationtafoot of dissatisfaction; and of the
new and renewedcommitment that are often the 'precursors of
positive soCial change. But.
the historical neglect in our society's attitude toward and
treatment ofpeople with disabilities, especially people- with
severe disabilities, is
' deeply rooted. Such patiently suffered abuse and injustice
have become.
even more unendurable now that the gepuine expectation of
escaping them is
beginning to cross more men's and women's minds. Sensitivities
and ex:-pectattons hayse come very acute.

SECTION 1
FORMULA GRANTS TO STATES
Introduction
O
Thil section presents an inventory of formula grants made
available.to
states.and -(designated by "A"); and also, similar-.
formula grant programs which contain a certain amount of monies
for
special projects of regional or national signifitance
(designated by
"A, B").4
In order to-receive a formula gr., nt,,,State applicants must
submit an
operating plan to the Federal Government' specifying how they
will
spend the .money $n aocordnce with the appropriate
guidelines.Information on the Stilte operating plan. is available
from the State
admihistering agency. " ..
(A) Formula grants to States provide support ;o ongoing State
programs
usually'for improvement, expansion or innovation. States are
auto-
matically sligibte for a share of these funds. the amount of
funds
each State receives is determined by a formula which takes
many'
factors into ,account. Factors commonly used are populatioh
unem-
ployment rate, income levels and numbers of disabled persons
or
disabled veterans. The foimula .is set by law ancyach formula
is
unique. Public v.r..,,Eivate organizations wishing to explore
funding
of projects under formula granes at the Stite level must
directlys.c
'contact the administering State office. Matching funds may
be,
reqUiied.
(A,B) ,Some formula grant programs contain a specific amount
of,monies'for
.special projects of regional or national significance.
these
programs operate under the same gujdelines as "A" type
grants,
except that y,law, a certain amount of money, is set ,aside by
'the
'-Federal administering agency to als9'fiind, special projects.
Public
or private, organizations .wishinvto, explore funding 'through-
the
. special, projects component must directly contact theHederal
or
.regional office- of the" apptopriate' Pederalad6inisteritti
'agency..
The more than 20 inclutions in 'this section run a wide gamut
in
terms of the Federal administering agencies involved, the
relative
amounts of funds available, and the breadth otmarrownes of
program

Veteran'-.
Administrotion are represented.' These are Agriculttire,.
