SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Joint Community Development Program was
enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Pub.L.
102-550, approved October 28, 1992). Initially administered by the
Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, the program
was transferred August 15, 1994 to 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 Joint Community Development Program provides special purpose
grants to institutions of higher education or to States and units of
general local government submitting applications with institutions of
higher education to HUD to undertake Community Development Block Grant
eligible activities. On April 7, 1995, HUD published a Notice of
Funding Availability announcing the availability of $12 million ($6
million of which was appropriated for Fiscal Year 1994 and $6 million
of which was appropriated for Fiscal Year 1995) for the Joint Community
Development Program (60 FR 17960). Through this funding round, HUD is
providing five institutions of higher education with grants of $2.4
million each, to support Centers for Community Revitalization at those
institutions of higher education. For this funding round, HUD required
institutions of higher education to apply on their own rather than
submitting jointly with a State or unit of general local government.
However, institutions of higher education were encouraged to form
partnerships with units of general local government by making part of
this funding available to these governments.
In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235,
approved December 15, 1989), the Department is publishing details
