The Community Programs Administration was
first created as the Bureau of Field Services (BFS)
in 1971 as a result of a Departmental reorganiza-
tion. In November 1972, the Bureau of Field Ser-
vices was renamed the Office of Program Coordi-
nation (OPC). In December 1979, by Sections 3A
and 15CB of Article 41 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland, the Office of Program Coordination
was reorganized and its name changed to the
Community Programs Administration (CPA).

The Community Programs Administration ad-
ministers employment and training services; pro-
vides technical assistance and other support ser-
vices to community based organizations; and
delivers energy assistance through fuel and
weatherization grants. It assures compliance with
equal opportunity requirements in employment
and services by the Department, its components,
and all sub-contractors; and provides internal co-
ordination and technical support to boards, com-
missions, and special programs. The Community
Programs Administration carries out these activi-
ties through the following programs: the Training
and Employment Office, Office of Community
Services, Equal Opportunity Office, Displaced
Homemakers Network, Governor's Commission
on Hispanic Affairs, Governor's Commission on
Migratory and Seasonal Farm Labor, Maryland
Service Corps, Maryland Commission for Wom-
en, and State Occupational Information Coordi-
nating Committee of Maryland.

The Training and Employment Office, formerly
the State Manpower Planning Office, was created
by Executive Order on July 1, 1976, and was
renamed in 1979. An agency of the Department
of Human Resources, the Training and Employ-
ment Office administers sections of the amended
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act
(CETA) of 1978, P.L. 95-524. CETA was origi-
nally authorized in 1973 and amended in 1978. It
replaced, in principle, the expired Manpower De-
velopment and Training Act (MDTA), the Eco-
nomic Opportunity Act (EOA), the Emergency
Employment Act (EEA), and the Cooperative
Area Manpower Planning System (CAMPS).

Created to serve the unemployed, underem-
ployed, and economically disadvantaged segments
of the general work force, the Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act provides funds di-
rectly to all eligible units of government (prime
sponsors) to implement employment and training
programs. Such programs include adult and
youth work experience, vocational classroom
training in demand occupational areas, public ser-
vice employment, summer youth employment, on-
the-job training in the private and public sectors,
