The purpose of this study was to: 1) survey the state, metropolitan, non-metropolitan, and City planning agencies receiving comprehensive planning funds from HUD. 2) give similar attention to their relations with independent commercial contractors; 3) review the equal opportunity design and approach of these organizations through their workplans; and 4) offer suggestions and case studies of what should and should not constitute proper programming to provide equal opportunity within guidelines, regulations, Executive Orders, and statues pertaining to these programs. The findings of the study establish that a great deal is yet to be done to clarify the operational aspects of equal opportunity in planning.
