| Overview
|
| Southern University and A&M College intends to use its Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) grant to provide affordable housing for low- to moderate-income (LMI) persons; implement an entrepreneurship training and business start-up program for LMI persons; and provide technical assistance to a community-based development organization for infrastructure development. This project will positively impact the residents of the target area, providing increased access to homeownership, increase minority-owned small and emerging businesses, and improve services provided by area community based development organizations, resulting in a better quality of life for LMI families. Additionally, this project will continue to strengthen the bonds between Southern University and surrounding community-based and faith-based organizations, increasing the capacity of each to better serve the LMI persons residing in the target area surrounding the university.
