SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Community Outreach Partnership Centers
Program was enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act of
1992 (Pub. L. 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) and is administered
by the Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for University
Partnerships. In addition to the COPC program, the Office of University
Partnerships 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 Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program provides funds
for: Research activities that have practical application for solving
specific problems in designated communities and neighborhoods, and
outreach, technical assistance and information exchange activities that
are designed to address specific problems associated with housing,
economic development, neighborhood revitalization, infrastructure,
health care, job training, education, crime prevention, planning, and
neighborhood capacity building.
The Catalog Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program is
14.511.
On May 14, 2004 (69 FR 27097), HUD published a Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) announcing the availability of $6.9 million. The
Department reviewed, evaluated, and scored the applications received
based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded 14

Grants. New Grants, which cannot exceed $400,000, are for institutions

Grants, which cannot exceed $200,000, are for institutions of higher
education that received an earlier COPC grant and are undertaking new
