SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities Program was approved by the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117, approved December 16, 2009) 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 HBCU Program provides funds for a wide range of CDBG eligible 
activities including housing rehabilitation, property demolition or 
acquisition, public facilities, economic development, business 
entrepreneurship, a wide range of public service activities, and fair 
housing programs.
    The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program 
is 14.520.
    On December 28, 2010, a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was 
posted on Grants.gov announcing a second round of funding under this 
program for approximately $2.3 million to fund HBCU grants. Under this 
program, HUD awarded two kinds of grants: Previously Unfunded HBCU 
Grants and Previously Funded HBCU Grants. Previously Unfunded HBCU 
Grants were awarded to applicants who have never received an HBCU grant 
or have not received a grant since FY 2000. The maximum amount a 
Previously Unfunded HBCU applicant could request for award is $500,000 
for a three-year (36 months) grant performance period. Previously 
Funded HBCU Grants were awarded to applicants that had received funding 
between FY 2001 through FY 2009. The maximum amount a Previously Funded 
HBCU applicant could request for award is $800,000 for three-year (36 
months) grant performance period.
    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 
Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 
Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545). More information about the winners can be
