SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CDWSP is administered by the Office of
University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary for Policy
Development and Research. The Office of University Partnerships
administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to institutions of higher
education and 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 CDWSP was enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1988. (Earlier versions of the program were funded by the Community
Development Block Grant Technical Assistance Program from 1982 through
1987 and the Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program from 1969
through 1981.) Eligible applicants include institutions of higher
education having qualifying academic degrees, and States and areawide
planning organizations who apply on behalf of such institutions. The
CDWSP funds graduate programs only. Each participating institution of
higher education is funded for a minimum of three and a maximum of five
students. The CDWSP provides each participating student up to $9,000
per year for a work stipend (for internship-type work in community
building) and $5,000 per year for tuition and additional support (for
books and travel related to the academic program). Additionally, the
CDWSP provides the participating institution of higher education with
an administrative allowance of $1,000 per student per year. On March
22, 1996 (61 FR 11942), HUD published a Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) announcing the availability of $3 million in FF 1996 funds for
the Community Development Work Study 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 (Pub. L. 101-235,
approved December 15, 1989), the Department is publishing details
