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 
concerning the recipients of funding awards, as follows:
