SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CDWSP is administered by the Office of 
University Partnerships under the Assistant Secretary for Policy 
Development and Research. The Office of University Partnerships 
administers HUD's ongoing grant programs to institutions of higher 
education. These colleges and universities assist in bringing their 
traditional missions of teaching, research, service, and outreach to 
bear on the pressing local problems in their communities.
    The CDWSP was enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1988. (Earlier versions of the program were funded by the Community 
Development Block Grant Technical Assistance Program from 1982 through 
1987 and the Comprehensive Planning Assistance Program from 1969 
through 1981.) Eligible applicants include institutions of higher 
education having qualifying academic degrees, and area-wide planning 
organizations and states that apply on behalf of such institutions. The 
CDWSP funds graduate programs only. Each participating institution of 
higher education is funded for a minimum of three and maximum of five 
students under the CDWSP. The CDWSP provides each participating student 
up to $9,000 per year for a work stipend (for internship-type work in 
community building) and $5,000 per year for tuition and additional 
support (for books and travel related to the academic program). 
Additionally, the CDWSP provides the participating institution of 
higher education with an administrative allowance of $1,000 per student 
per year.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.512.
    On March 21, 2005, (70 FR 13773), HUD published a Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $2.8 million in FY 
2005 funds and $391,144 in previously unexpended funds for the CDWSP. 
The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received 
based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded the 
applications announced below and, in accordance with Section 
102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform 
Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, U.S.C. 3545), the Department is publishing
