SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian 
Institutions Assisting Communities Program (HSIAC) was enacted under 
section 107 of the CDBG appropriation for fiscal year 2000, as part of 
the ``Veterans Administration, HUD and Independent Agencies 
Appropriations Act of 2000'' and is administered by 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 Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting 
Communities Program provides funds for a wide range of CDBG-eligible 
activities including housing rehabilitation and financing, property 
demolition or acquisition, public facilities, economic development, 
business entrepreneurship, and fair housing programs. On February 24, 
2000 (65 FR 9469), HUD published a Notice of Funding Availability 
(NOFA) announcing the availability of $2 million in Fiscal Year 2000 
funds for the Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting 
Communities Program. The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the 
applications received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, 
HUD two applications were funded. These grants, with their grant 
amounts are identified below.

    The Catalog Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program
