Nixon seeks $2 billion urban aid fund with revenue sharing
President Nixon asks Congress to approve a $2 billion revenue sharing fund for urban development without cutting current efforts like the model cities program. He proposes an extra $100 million annually to boost states and local planning and coordination and would direct $1.6 billion to metropolitan areas with flexible use for community development. The remaining $400 million would be allocated by HUD to ensure no community loses federal money versus existing programs.
