SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hispanic-serving Institutions Assisting

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 Hispanic-serving 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

announcing the availability of $6.5 million in Fiscal Year 2000 funds

The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received 
based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD 15 applications 
were funded. These grants, with their grant amounts are identified
