1999'' (Pub. L. 105-276, approved October 21, 1998) and is administered
by the Office of University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary

provides funds for a wide range of CDBG-eligible activities including
housing rehabilitation and financing, property demolition or

entrepreneurship, and fair housing programs. On February 26, 1999 (64
