By fy ¥E SPONDING TO CONELICTS AND VIOLENCE AND IL DING LOCAL CAPACITIES FOR LOCAL SOLUTIONS ANNUAL REPORT FY 2000 COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE Mission The mission of the Community Relations Service (CRS) is to resolve conflicts and prevent violence when racial tensions threaten community peace and stability by assisting state and local officials, law enforcement officials, business leaders, and community residents. Through the application of established mediation practices, CRS mediators help affected parties work together on a voluntary basis to create locally defined and locally implemented resolutions. As a result, CRS builds the local capacity within communities to manage and resolve their own conflicts, and promotes racial harmony and mutual understanding among diverse groups in America's communities. The Community Relations Service was established by Title X of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. CRS 1s the only Federal agency with jurisdiction over community conflicts that arise due to issues of race, color, or national origin.
