administered by the Office of University Partnerships under the Office
of 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 HBCU Program provides funds for a wide range of CDBG eligible
activities including housing rehabilitation, property demolition or
acquisition, public facilities, economic development, business
entrepreneurship, a wide range of public service activities, and fair
housing programs.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program
is 14.520.
On December 28, 2010, a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was
posted on Grants.gov announcing a second round of funding under this
program for approximately $2.3 million to fund HBCU grants. Under this
program, HUD awarded two kinds of grants: Previously Unfunded HBCU
Grants and Previously Funded HBCU Grants. Previously Unfunded HBCU
Grants were awarded to applicants who have never received an HBCU grant
or have not received a grant since FY 2000. The maximum amount a
Previously Unfunded HBCU applicant could request for award is $500,000
for a three-year (36 months) grant performance period. Previously
Funded HBCU Grants were awarded to applicants that had received funding
between FY 2001 through FY 2009. The maximum amount a Previously Funded
HBCU applicant could request for award is $800,000 for three-year (36
months) grant performance period.
The Department reviewed, evaluated, and scored the applications
received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded
the applications below, in accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the
Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103
Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545). More information about the winners can be
