SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Community Outreach Partnership Centers

1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) 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 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 Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program provides funds 
for: Research activities which have practical application for solving 
specific problems in designated communities and neighborhoods; 
outreach, technical assistance and information exchange activities 
which are designed to address specific problems associated with 
housing, economic development, neighborhood revitalization, 
infrastructure, health care, job training, education, crime prevention, 
planning, and community organizing. On April 25, 2003 (68 FR 21105/

announcing the availability of $6.955 million ($1.955 million has been 
set aside to fund COPC Futures Demonstration Program) in Fiscal Year 
2003 for the Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program. The 
Department reviewed, evaluated, and scored the applications received 
based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded 10 
applications for New Grants, 6 applications for New Directions Grants 
and 5 applications for Futures Demonstration Grants. New Grants, which 
cannot exceed $400,000, are for institutions of higher education just

$150,000, are for institutions of higher education that are undertaking

Demonstration Grants, which cannot exceed $400,000, are for schools of 
architecture, planning and design to focus on housing and planning 
problems of urban areas. These grants, with their grant amounts are
