THE RELATIVE RESPONSIVENESS OF STATE AND FEDERAL AID TO DISTRESSED CITIES

Fred Teitelbaum

Review of Policy Research, 1981, vol. 1, issue 2, 309-322

Abstract: Both the states and the federal government distribute significant aid to cities. Federal agencies generally offer direct assistance to cities, bypassing the states. Many federal programs operate under the assumption that the federal government is more responsive to urban problems than are state governments. This paper demonstrates that this assumption is probably not true. Federal aid administered through the states has benefitted “distressed” cities more than federal assistance which goes directly to urban areas.
