IV. General Objectives

    On September 12, 1996, the United States Department of Housing and 
Urban Development and the Milton S. Eisenhower Foundation entered into 
a cooperative agreement to provide technical assistance to housing 
authorities to implement and evaluate law enforcement mini-stations and 
inner-city youth safe havens in the following public housing 
authorities: District of Columbia, Columbia, SC, Little Rock, AR, 
Memphis, TN, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Baltimore, MD. In addition, the 
Foundation and HUD will identify best practices among drug-prevention 
efforts which operate through community-based facilities, as methods 
public housing authorities can use in support of residents, who must 
transition from welfare to work.
    The KOBAN police and community partnership program is a unique 
innovative program to improve relationships between local law 
enforcement agencies and the inner-city neighborhoods they patrol, to 
reduce crime and drug abuse in the neighborhoods and prevent inner-city 
youth from engaging in high-risk behavior. The program builds on 
policing strategies that have operated successfully in Japan and proven 
successful in other variations in American cities.

V. Specific Change to Agreement

    The amendment to the agreement requires the Eisenhower Foundation 
to design, develop and deliver a best practices guidebook to HUD. The 
guidebook will identify best practices among drug-prevention efforts 
which operate through community-based facilities, such as methods 
public housing authorities can use in support of residents, who must 
transition from welfare to work. This task will parallel and complement 
the existing scope of work.

    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for the Drug 
Elimination Program is 14.854.
