| Overview
|
| Texas A&M University–Kingsville intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to rehabilitate an existing unsafe building to serve as a community education center. The building will receive extensive repairs, including a new roof and flooring, ADA-compliant restrooms, entrances and ramps, new windows and doors, and foundation repairs. Air-conditioning and outdoor security lights will be installed. The university will then offer two activities through the rehabilitated education center: afterschool and summer academic enrichment and recreational programs for public school children; and workshops and seminars to encourage homeownership and self-sufficiency among low- to moderate-income (LMI) residents. Examples of expected outcomes include: rehabilitation of the education center as a community resource; instructional and recreational activities for at least 300 low-income K-12 students; bilingual affordable housing training for at least 100 LMI families and 50 elderly or people with disabilities living in assisted housing; and at least 10 percent of families receiving training will move from assisted housing to affordable homes.
