| Donnelly College intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant for its HELP-KC project, which is designed to directly support community residents through two distinct programming options that will: promote knowledge of and access to homeownership through educational programming; and spur and support small business development in urban core communities by offering three targeted programs to provide technical support to participants as they develop business concepts. Additionally, the project seeks to renovate a stand-alone space on-campus to be used by community organizations and agencies, including partners for outreach, programming, and services to the community. HELP-KC outreach will impact the community by providing bilingual support and counseling to reach even more people who are individuals for whom homeownership would serve as a major transformational force to their families and would further stabilize the surrounding community by assisting individuals as they save for and navigate purchase programs.
