Lessons Learned From the Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program (March 2002, 144 p.)
In 1994, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched
the Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC) program to
foster and support collaborations between institutions of
higher education and their communities. COPC is HUD's primary
vehicle for engaging colleges and universities in community
development. HUD commissioned Lessons Learned From the
Community Outreach Partnership Centers Program to review
the experience of a sample of early COPC grantees in order
to distill lessons about the challenges and contributions
of campus-community partnerships and about how community outreach
efforts like those supported by COPC are being institutionalized
by colleges and universities. This report, based on the experience
of 25 COPC grantees and their partners, presents the results
of that review and analysis.
