The White House announced today that, as a result of the first year of this process, CNCS had awarded USDA 1,200 AmeriCorps slots and $2.6 million in operating funds. Funds for the Department's program will also be provided from existing USDA programs and from non-profit organizations that serve as partners at individual sites. The USDA AmeriCorps projects reflect a new emphasis on cooperation among USDA agencies. USDA's Agricultural Research Service, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, Farmers Home Administration, Food and Nutrition Service, Forest Service, Rural Development Administration, Rural Electrification Administration, and Soil Conservation Service will play significant roles in managing this program. The Anti-Hunger projects will be at five sites--two rural and three urban--with high levels of hunger and poverty. The projects will work to reduce the number of citizens suffering from hunger and improve the nutritional content of family diets. This program has been designed, and is to run, as a unique partnership between USDA, youth service corps and local anti-hunger groups. The environmental projects will occur at 32 rural and urban sites in 21 states. The goals of the projects are to help solve local environmental problems, protect local watersheds, repair and upgrade community facilities, promote sustainable agriculture, conduct environmental education seminars, and preserve and restore national forests. The rural development projects will engage generally older participants, who are college graduates and professional school graduates, in work in 10 pilot regions throughout America. Participants are to help communities protect watersheds, improve housing, promote economic development, boost sustainable agriculture, and aid the Clinton Administration's Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community initiative. Special disaster-relief projects will also be run in the eight Midwest states most impacted by last summer's record flooding. -more- -3- USDA AMERICORPS SITES (To start operation September 1994) ANTI-HUNGER - #1 Vermont, state-wide #2 District of Columbia #3 Milwaukee, Wis. #4 Mississippi Delta, Miss. #5 Los Angeles, Calif.

Funds for the Department's program will also be provided from existing USDA programs and from non-profit organizations that serve as partners at individual sites. The USDA AmeriCorps effort reflects high levels of cooperation among USDA agencies. The Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), the Farmer's Home Administration (FmHA), the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), the Forest Service (FS), the Rural Development Administration (RDA), the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), and the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) all will play significant roles in managing this program. The Anti-Hunger projects will be at five sites -- two rural and three urban -- with high levels of hunger, poverty, and malnutrition. The projects will work to reduce the number of citizens suffering from hunger, improve the nutritional content of family diets, and give poor citizens necessary empowerment tools to help lift themselves out of poverty. Designed and run in a unique partnership between USDA, youth service corps, and local anti-hunger groups, this program will be a model of reinventing government.
