| Overview
|
| The University of Puerto Rico at Carolina intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to develop a Community Empowerment Program for Economic Development (CEPED) to expand its role and effectiveness in addressing the community and economic development needs of the low-income residents of the San Antón Barrio. CEPED will stabilize its target low-income communities and contribute to its sustainable development, through the implementation of the following four major activities: implement economic development activities through technical assistance for the establishment, stabilization, and expansion of minority-owned microenterprises; assist grassroots community-based organizations to carry out community economic development activities; provide and promote activities that can help stabilize the San Antón community and promote its sustainable development through employment, education, housing counseling, health, job training and placement, and recreation; and promote direct homeownership assistance to low-income persons.
