SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CDWSP is administered by the Office of 
University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary for Policy 
Development and Research. The Office of University Partnerships 
administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to institutions of higher 
education and 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 CDWSP was enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1988. (Earlier versions of the program were funded by the Community 
Development Block Grant Technical Assistance Program from 1982 through 
1987 and the Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program from 1969 
through 1981.) Eligible applicants include institutions of higher 
education having qualifying academic degrees, and States and areawide 
planning organizations who apply on behalf of such institutions. The 
CDWSP funds graduate programs only. Each participating institution of 
higher education is funded for a minimum of three students and a 
maximum of five students under the CDWSP. The CDWSP provides each 
participating student up to $9,000 per year for a work stipend (for 
internship-type work in community building) and $5,000 per year for 
tuition and additional support (for books and travel related to the 
academic program). Additionally, the CDWSP provides the participating 
institution of higher education with an administrative allowance of 
$1,000 per student per year.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.512.
    On January 15, 1999 (64 FR 2736) HUD published a Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $3 million in FY 
1999 funds for the CDWSP. The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored 
the applications received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a 
result, HUD has funded the applications announced below, and in 
accordance with Section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, U.S.C. 3545), the 
Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding
