research, service, and outreach to bear on the pressing local problems
in their communities.

is 14.517. On May 12, 2008 (Vol. 73, No. 92), HUD published a Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $300,000 in
FY 2008 funds for the DDRG Program. 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).
