| Overview
|
| The Research Foundation of CUNY on behalf of Lehman College intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to provide economic development and stability for businesses and family and child development in the north central Bronx. The college will establish a Small Business Assistance Network by providing three business summits for all merchants; holding annual meetings with local police precincts; obtaining 3 grants for added sanitation services; awarding 30 grants for business improvement; training 100 workers in retail worker skills; and providing business counseling to 90 at-risk businesses. The college will also develop children and families in afterschool programs by training 25 workers to use problem-based interaction skills with problem behaviors; and training 150 children in Life Skills and 150 family members in Life Skills for Parents, which will take place at five afterschool programs.
