SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community 
Corps is a program operated by the Corporation for National and 
Community Service. The Corporation is a government organization which 
engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based 
service. This service addresses the nation's education, public safety, 
human, environmental and disaster response needs by achieving direct 
and demonstrable results. In doing so, the Corporation fosters civic 
responsibility, strengthens the ties that bind us together as a people, 
and provides educational opportunity for those who make a substantial 
commitment to service. Corpsmembers of the AmeriCorps*National Civilian 
Community Corps reside on facilities located in Maryland, South 
Carolina, Denver and San Diego. They travel to and conduct service 
projects in four regions of the country and live in temporary housing. 
Local support for housing and food for corpsmembers is a factor taken 
into account in project selection. Projects are ordinarily four to six 
weeks in duration and engage one team of twelve or so corpsmembers; 
some larger and longer projects are approved when there is a strong 
justification for doing so.
