This study examines the distribution of federal funds in Milwaukee, Wisconsin between 1988-2008 under a new Neighborhood Strategic Planning (NSP) process designed to increase citizen participation and empower neighborhoods residents by giving them an increased role in the distribution of federal urban renewal funds used for the period 1998-2008. It was then compared it to the old Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) funding allocation process used between 1988-1997. This study documents that while citizen participation in the distribution of federal CDBG funds increased under the NSP process, federal funding to low-income communities decreased because city officials had the power to restructure funding priorities and allocations patterns. Also, federal funds distributed to low-income neighborhoods via community-based organizations (CBO) decreased under the NSP because the city government created new policies to increase its share of CDBG dollars to finance city services and staff funded by tax levy dollars. In effect, the city used federal funds designed to help low income communities to pay for city services and staff instead of raising its middle class residents' property taxes to pay for them.

Urban counties must struggle with metropolitan expansion in order to deliver vital urban services. With the passage of the Housing and Community Development Act, urban counties throughout the nation found it necessary to develop the administrative capacity and the intergovernmental network sufficient to implement the Act. Hamilton County, Ohio, offers a typical example of how an urban county implemented CDBG. The result was a small county community development staff that look a pragmatic approach and relied heavily on the recommendations of participating municipalities and townships. The funded projects were primarily oriented toward transportation and public works. These projects, widely dispersed throughout the county, rewarded diverse political interests, generated few political conflicts, and required minimal county staff resources.
