SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Community Renaissance Fellows Program

(Pub. L. 103-327, approved September 28, 1994). A notice published in 
the Federal Register on November 30, 1995 (60 FR 61634) announced the 
Department's funding of at least 20 Fellows to assist in distressed 
public housing developments undergoing conversion to mixed-income 
communities. The Fellows will be trained to become community building 
experts through on-the-job training with Public Housing Authorities or 
their private development partners, and through seminars. The 
curriculum of these seminars must be specially designed for the kinds 
of experiences the Fellows will have and the expertise they will need. 
In addition, the faculty and ``best practices'' professionals brought 
in to teach the seminars are expected to be on the ``cutting edge'' of 
their fields.
