The Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-550) expanded Section 107 "Special Purpose Grants" to include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The HBCU program provides financial assistance to these educational institutions to enable them to expand their roles and effectiveness in addressing community development/neighborhood revitalization needs in their localities.

The predominant activities of the HBCUs are creating community development corporations (CDCs), developing support services for welfare to initiatives, rehabilitating housing, promoting economic development through small business incubators and job training programs, and rehabilitating commercial properties to name just a few.

This home page is dedicated to the dissemination of information to the HBCUs regarding Federal funding opportunities.
