NTER TO L£A«N. DEPART TO SERVE VOL. XIII, NO. 6 WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY, WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA MARCH 11, 1975 WSSU Receives HUD Grant Mr. H. R. Crawford, Assistant Secretary of Housing Management for the Department of Housing and Urban Development has announced grants in excess of $1 million dollars for two Winston-Salem housing developments (Happy Hill Gardens and Kimberly Park) and Winston-Salem State University. The two Housing Authority grants are expected to upgrade and revitalize the public housing projects by providing opportunities for jobs. The $135,000 grant to WSSU will fund a curriculum in housing management for the first of a two-year program. The curriculum addresses the professional needs of housing managers who seek a degree, either as full-time or part-time students, and alternatives are provided for those students not seeking degrees. Field based experimental learning is provided through a cooperative agreement entered into between the University and the Winston- Salem Housing Authority. In September, 1974 the Department of Housing and Urban Development requested that Winston-Salem State submit a proposal for the design and implementation of a college curriculum in housing management. Dr. Ukaonu Uche, Dr. Marlene Simpson and Dr. William Rice utilized the input of an advisory task force and faculty members to develop the final detailed proposal and methodology for such a curriculum. Program Year I will be funded through the grant from HUD; while the funding of Program Year H is contingent upon the evaluation of Program Year I. The Advisory Board for the program is made up of WSSU faculty, representatives from the Winston-Salem Housing Authority and other housing professionals in the Piedmont area including those from low and medium income government-assisted housing projects and private sectors, and HUD staff to assist the University with its overall program development in Housing Management. This includes liaison with housing organizations, curricula development and recommendation, and approving criteria for assessing the performance requirements of experimental learning activities. The overall program is intended to develop and test delivery systems for housing management training throughout the country utilizing Winston- Salem State University as a base, expanding curricula and developing specialized institutes, workshops and courses at all levels of college and university work. On accepting the grant on behalf of the University, Dr. Williams stated that he was grateful and that this grant provided an opportunity for the University to extend its services into the community with a program that should be beneficial to the community.
