To assist Alabama’s citizens, communities, and regions in developing an even brighter future is the primary mission of the Governor’s Resources for Economic Assistance Programs, (REAP).   As the newest unit of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), REAP was created to provide assistance and information in the areas of community and economic development, and to manage specialized community grants and projects. 

Technical assistance and services with programs such as Renewal Community, Alabama Enterprise Zone, Delta Regional Authority, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), Minority Business Enterprises, and Community and Economic Development, will be provided to citizens and community leaders.  We anticipate that REAP’s activities and programs will continue to evolve as the needs of Alabama’s citizens and communities are identified . 

I would like to encourage you as a citizen, community leader and/or representative, to seek our assistance as we share opportunities to grow and develop an even brighter future for Alabama!
