SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Community Outreach Partnership Centers
Program was enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act of
1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) and is administered
by the Office of University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary
for Policy Development and Research. In addition to this program, the
Office of University Partnerships administers HUD's ongoing grant
programs to institutions of higher education as well as creates
initiatives through which colleges and universities can bring their
traditional missions of teaching, research, service, and outreach to
bear on the pressing local problems in their communities.
The Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program provides funds
for: Research activities which have practical application for solving
specific problems in designated communities and neighborhoods;
outreach, technical assistance and information exchange activities
which are designed to address specific problems associated with
housing, economic development, neighborhood revitalization,
infrastructure, health care, job training, education, crime prevention,
planning, and community organizing. On February 26, 1999 (64 FR 9653),
HUD published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) announcing the
availability of $7.5 million in Fiscal Year 1999 funds for the
Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program. The Department
reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received based on the
criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded 16 applications for
New Grants and 6 applications for New Directions Grants. New Grants,
which cannot exceed $400,000, are for institutions of higher education
just beginning a COPC project. New Directions Grants, which cannot
exceed $150,000, are for institutions of higher education that are
undertaking new activities or expanding into new neighborhoods. These
grants, with their grant amounts are identified below.
