research, service, and outreach to bear on the pressing local problems 
in their communities.
    The HSIAC 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.
