property demolition or acquisition, public facilities, economic 
development, business entrepreneurship, and fair housing programs. Of 
the $6.2 million available, $3.1 million was allotted to fund Alaskan 
Hawaiian institutions and $3.1 million to fund Native Hawaiian 
institutions. Each eligible campus was permitted to apply individually, 
for $600,000 the maximum amount that can be awarded for a period of 36 
months.
