Executive Order 13748: Establishing a Community Solutions Council was a presidential executive order issued by President Barack Obama (D) in November 2016 that established a Community Solutions Council with the goal of leveraging federal assistance to address community challenges, including "opportunities to pursue quality education," among other concerns.[1]

Background

President Barack Obama (D) issued Executive Order 13748, titled "Establishing a Community Solutions Council," on November 16, 2016. The executive order created the Community Solutions Council with the goal of deepening the federal government's "engagement with communities, recognizing the critical role of these partnerships in enabling Americans to live healthier and more prosperous lives."[1]

President Barack Obama (D), in a press release on November 16, 2016, argued that the Community Solutions Council built on his administration's effort to "modernize the way the Federal Government works with cities, counties, and communities — rural, tribal, urban, and sub-urban." He argued that the council would equip the federal government to become "more effective, responsive, and collaborative" in addressing local leaders' needs and challenges and help federal agencies partner with local officials to support local plans and visions.[2]

Section 1 of E.O. 13748 stated the policy directives of the executive order as improving communities and neighborhoods facing the specific challenges of "crime, access to care, opportunities to pursue quality education, lack of housing options, unemployment, and deteriorating infrastructure." The executive order called for federal assistance in meeting the challenges of communities and neighborhoods: "Research shows that the neighborhood in which a child grows up impacts his or her odds of going to college, enjoying good health, and obtaining a lifetime of economic opportunities."[1]

Principles

Section 2 of E.O. 13748 stated several principles of the executive order sought to "modernize the Federal Government's work with communities." Section 2 called for a local-led vision and long-term federal government plans for clear outcomes to guide projects, for the federal government to coordinate its effort with "cross-sector partners, to offer a more seamless process for communities to access needed support and ensure equitable investments," and for the federal government to help communities "identify, develop, and share local solutions, rely on data to determine what does and does not work, and harness technology and modern collaboration and engagement methods to help share these solutions and help communities meet their local goals."[1]

Establishment of the council

Section 3 of E.O. 13748 establishes the Council for Community Solutions. It states that the council will be led by two co-chairs. One co-chair is an assistant to the president or the director of the Office of Management and Budget. The second co-chair is rotated every four years and chosen from the president from among the heads of the Department of Justice, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Education, and the Environmental Protection Agency.[1]


Section 3 establishes the membership of the Council for Community Solutions and lists the following 33 council members:

  • The secretary of state
  • The secretary of the treasury
  • The secretary of defense
  • The attorney general
  • The secretary of the interior
  • The secretary of agriculture
  • The secretary of commerce
  • The secretary of labor
  • The secretary of health and human services
  • The secretary of housing and urban development
  • The secretary of transportation
  • The secretary of energy
  • The secretary of education
  • The secretary of veterans affairs
  • The secretary of homeland security
  • The administrator of the environmental protection agency
  • The administrator of general services
  • The administrator of the small business administration
  • The chief executive officer of the corporation for national and community service

  • The director of the office of management and budget
  • The chair of the council of economic advisers

  • The chair of the council on environmental quality
  • The director of the office of science and technology policy
  • The assistant to the president and chief technology officer
  • The administrator of the United States digital service[1]

The provision allows for the inclusion of "other officials, as the co-chairs may designate or invite to participate." The co-chairs must convene regular meetings of the council, determine its agenda, and direct its work.

Mission and priorities

Section 4 of E.O. 13748 states that the council shall foster collaboration across agencies and other policy councils and coordinate action, identify working solutions to share, and develop policy recommendations. Section 4 states that the council shall conduct outreach to nonprofit organizations, civil rights organizations, businesses, labor and professional organizations, and entrepreneurial communities with relevant experience to improve the efforts "to build local capacity, ensure equity, and address economic, social, environmental, and other issues in communities or regions."[1]

Superceded executive orders

Section 5 of E.O. 13748 states that this executive order supersedes Executive Orders 13560 and 13602 titled Building Upon Other Efforts. E.O. 13560 established the White House Council for Community Solutions. E.O. 13602 established a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities. E.O. 13748 revoked E.O. 13560 and E.O. 13602 because the Council for Community Solutions "builds on existing efforts involving Federal working groups, task forces, memoranda of agreement, and initiatives."[1]
