Exploring Community Development Activities by HUD Grantees

From: HUD USER News
 
Each year, HUD provides grants to help Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) advance development
efforts in their surrounding communities. The HUD-
assisted programs of these institutions of higher
education must benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
aid in preventing or eliminating slums or blight, and/or
address a community development need. HUD's Office of
Policy Development and Research recently released an
analysis of how these projects are implemented, and of
the resulting experiences, successes, and lessons
learned.
 
Historically Black Colleges & Universities: Three Case
Studies of Experiences in Community Development, is a
two-volume compendium of our findings. Volume I
summarizes the successful strategies and lessons learned
from the grant program in general, and from three HBCU
grant recipients in particular. Volume II contains full
in-depth case studies of the use of HBCU grant funds by
Benedict College in South Carolina, Tennessee's LeMoyne-
Owen College, and Texas Southern University in Houston.
Both volumes are available from HUD USER, free of charge,
at www.huduser.gov/portal/publications/commdevl/hbcu.html.
