policy question

T* B*

Hello. I am a social work student interning in a community 
gardening agency. My supervisor asked me a question about 
policy that I'm having a hard time answering. Maybe you can 
help.

He mentioned to me that in the late 1970's/early 1980's 
legislation was passed that funded the start of community 
gardening organizations in each state. Then, more recently, 
another bill was passed that provided funds for community 
gardening as well. I'm having a booger of a time hunting down 
the exact bills, but I think that the recent one is the Community 
Food Securities Act of 1995.

My question is twofold. First, what are these bills? Second, did 
the funds provided in the first bill get replaced by the funds 
provided in the second, or is that money still available?

If anybody has any info on this, I would love to hear from you. 
Thanks!!!
