SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian

under section 107 of the Community Development Block Grant 
appropriations for the fiscal year 2005, and is administered by the 
Office of University Partnerships under the Office of 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 AN/NHIAC 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.
    The Catalog Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program is 
14.515.

Funding Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $3.9 million 
appropriated in FY 05, plus an additional $267,000 in previously 
unobligated funds. Each eligible campus was permitted to apply 
individually for $800,000, the maximum amount that can be awarded for a 
period of 36 months.
    The Department reviewed, evaluated, and scored the applications 
received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded 
the applications below, in accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the
