| Hinds Community College-Utica Campus intends to use its Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) grant in a collaborative effort with the Town of Utica, Friends of Utica, and other agencies and/or organizations to revitalize the Utica community. These funds will be used to address community housing issues such as substandard housing conditions, decent and affordable housing, overcrowding, and homeownership counseling. The college will also address employment creation and retention as well as, neighborhood revitalization. These services will target low- to moderate-income persons; promote fair housing choice through the expansion of homeownership opportunities; and improve the quality of services for minority families with children.
