| St. Mary’s University intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to establish a campus-based One Stop Neighborhood Revitalization Center—a physical facility with dedicated staff and community partners—to deliver services to area residents and businesses that promote affordable homeownership, business technical assistance and loans, fair housing counseling, emergency mortgage and utility assistance, and leadership training and volunteer projects to strengthen neighborhood nonprofit organizations. The project is designed to expand the scope and depth of services provided by the university to its community; focus resources on neighborhood revitalization and community redevelopment; and engage students, faculty, staff, and residents in revitalization projects.
