Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document

notifies the public of funding awards for the Fiscal Year 1997

Community Development Work Study Program (CDWSP). The purpose of this

and the amount of the awards to be used to attract economically

disadvantaged and minority students to careers in community and

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 and 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 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 States and areawide

planning organizations who 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 students and a

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 4, 1997 (62 FR 9897) HUD published a Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $3 million in FY

1997 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

Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, U.S.C. 3545), the

Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding
