National Low Income Housing Coalition, February 16, 2016: Congressional Black Caucus Anti-Poverty Plan Gains Traction
“The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has proposed an anti-poverty plan, referred to as the “10-20-30” plan, that would use 10% of program funding in counties where poverty rates have persistently been more than 20% over 30 years. The proposal was adopted for rural development programs under the ‘Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008’ (HERA) and led to $1.7 billion for 4,655 economic development projects in counties with persistent poverty.”
