Jackson State University will use HBCU funds to increase homeownership in the community surrounding its campus. The university will acquire and rehabilitate six vacant properties. These properties will then be sold to low- and moderate-income families of West Jackson after they have successfully completed the homeownership education program provided by the university. The proceeds from the sales of these homes(CDBG program income) will recapitalize the revolving acquisition and rehabilitation fund to continue this project beyond the life of the current grant.
