| Overview
|
| The University of Texas-Pan American will serve two clusters of colonias neighborhoods in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. These clusters are commonly known as Cameron Park and Progreso and are located in Cameron and Hidalgo counties, respectively. Outreach activities will: assist the community advisory council in establishing a Colonia Development Corporation (CDC); implement an Entrepreneurial Skills Development Training program; develop a microenterprise loan program for the CDC to operate; implement a preventive healthcare program for the two neighborhoods; and mobilize crime prevention resources. The program will build on an existing partnership with the two neighborhoods. Texas-Pan American has been awarded $300,000 for its COPC.
