| Overview
|
| Morehouse College, located in Atlanta, will receive a Historically Black Colleges and Universities grant in the amount of $526,414. Morehouse will work with the City of Atlanta Department of Planning, Development, and Neighborhood Conservation; the University Community Development Corporation; the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership; and Clark Atlanta University's Office of Continuing Education to revitalize the Neighborhood Planning Unit T (NPU-T). This neighborhood of 25,000 inhabitants is predominantly African American, with the majority being low- to moderate-income, female-headed households. The Morehouse College and NPU-T Collaboration and Revitalization Initiative will rehabilitate 14 homes owned by elderly persons, construct 6 affordable houses on vacant lots, increase homeownership opportunities for 60 low- and moderate-income persons through educational workshops, train 15 student interns in Geographic Information Systems Technology, train an additional 30 student interns as community planning assistants, and train 11 neighborhood organizations in community development principles and assist them in becoming 501(c)(3) community development organizations.
