    The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and 
the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation entered into a cooperative 
agreement to provide technical assistance to housing authorities to 
implement and evaluate law enforcement mini-stations and inner-city 
youth safe havens in the following public housing authorities: District 
of Columbia, Columbia, SC, Little Rock, AK, Memphis, TN, San Juan, 
Puerto Rico, Baltimore, MD and Newark, NJ. In addition, the Foundation 
and HUD will identify best practices among drug-prevention efforts 
which operate through community-based facilities, as methods public 
housing authorities can use in support of residents, who must 
transition from welfare to work.
    The KOBAN police and community partnership program is a unique 
innovative program to improve relationships between local law 
enforcement agencies and the inner-city neighborhoods they patrol, to 
reduce crime and drug abuse in the neighborhoods and prevent inner-city 
youth from engaging in high-risk behavior. The program builds on 
policing strategies that have operated successfully in Japan and proven 
successful in other variations in American cities.

    Dated: October 4, 1996.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.
