Authors: Ann Lordeman, Domestic Social Policy Division; Abigail B. Rudman, Knowledge Services Group 
Abstract: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) was established by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-82). Operating as an independent federal agency, the CNCS oversees all national and community service programs authorized in two statutes: the National Community Service Act (NCSA) of 1990, as amended, and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act (DVSA) of 1973, as amended. Although authorized funding for CNCS programs expired at the end of FY1996, funding continues through annual appropriations. DVSA programs have been continually funded under the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (L-HHS-ED) Appropriations Act. Since FY2006, funding for NCSA programs have also been included in the L-HHS-ED appropriations. This report first provides a summary of each NCSA and DVSA program. Next, it compares funding under Labor-HHS-ED
