| Overview
|
| Howard University intends to use its Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) grant to collaborate with Howard Theatre Restoration, Inc. in conducting pre-development activities for restoring the historic Howard Theatre; create the “Legends of Shaw Boulevard” Banner Project, in partnership with Shaw Main Streets, creating and installing 170 banners to “brand” the community as a shopping and cultural destination; expand a Façade and Technical Assistance program, together with the Development Corporation of Columbia Heights, to strengthen local businesses in the Pleasant Plains neighborhood located just to the west of the campus; and overcome barriers to accessibility by installing a wheelchair lift for the second floor of its community facility in Pleasant Plains, with assistance from the Emergence Community Arts Collective (ECAC). Through this rehabilitation, and by adding additional Howard University volunteers to provide training in financial literacy and the arts, Howard University will enhance the opportunities, financial stability, and well-rounded cultural experiences for low- to moderate-income individuals, especially seniors and disabled residents who have not been able to avail themselves of ECAC’s offerings due to inaccessibility.
