the ``Veterans Administration, HUD and Independent Agencies 
Appropriations Act of 2001'' 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

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 26,

(NOFA) announcing the availability of $4.2 million in Fiscal Year 2001

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