| Claflin University will use Historically Black Colleges and Universities grant funds to support neighborhood revitalization strategies in three blighted target areas: Golf Avenue, Maxey-Dickson, and Duncan-Bayne Street located in the City of Orangeburg. Three primary activities will be undertaken: (1) the stabilization of the Claflin University CDC to effectively implement community development strategies; (2) assistance to the CDC to enhance its performance of housing development activities, such as the rehabilitation of homes to remove health and safety violations, and the provision of first-time homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income families; and (3) the delivery of social and educational enrichment services to youth.
