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 July 16, 2010, a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was 
posted on Grants.gov announcing the availability of approximately $9.7 
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
