SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Community Partnerships
grant is to provide Housing Authority (HA) and Community Development
Corporation (CDC) collaboratives grants for the purpose of creating
neighborhood-based programs to move families residing in public housing
and the adjacent neighborhood from welfare to self-sufficiency through
two primary strategies: (1) Encourage the creation of employment and
business development opportunities for low-income people through
business, physical or commercial development in the neighborhood; and
(2) provide an array of supportive services in neighborhood-based
comprehensive service centers (and accessible to persons with
disabilities) to enable participants to successfully make and sustain
the transition to self-sufficiency.
The 1997 awards announced in this Notice were selected for funding
in a competition announced in a Federal Register notice published on
July 29, 1997 (62 FR 40642). Applications were scored and selected for
funding on the basis of selection criteria contained in that Notice.
A total of $4.2 million in Community Partnerships was awarded to
six HA-CDC grantees. HUD and HHS each made available $2.5 million for
award under this initiative. The Boys and Girls Clubs of America made
up to $500,000 available to elected HA-CDC grantees for after school
youth development activities providing constructive environments for
children program participants.

year ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes'', (Pub.L. 104-
