| This project is designed to build upon the existing assets and strengths of two inner-Beltway communities in Prince Georges County: Palmer Park and Glenarden. HUD, under its single-family housing program, has designated Palmer Park as a neighborhood revitalization area. It has a large portfolio of FHA-foreclosed homes. In an effort to counter this problem, Bowie State University will use HBCU funds to rehabilitate several vacant single-family HUD homes for first-time homebuyer opportunities. In Glenarden, the university will provide health services and education for pre-school children and women living in Glenarden Apartments.
