RESULTS IN BRIEF

BACKGROUND

Program Description

Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990

2005 Gulf Coast Hurricanes and Disaster Assistance

Disaster Assistance Agencies

HBCUS REPORTED SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL PROJECT NEEDS, BUT ONLY ABOUT HALF OF AVAILABLE PROGRAM FUNDS HAVE BEEN BORROWED

HBCUs Reported Having Substantial Capital Project Needs, although Such Needs Are Not Well Documented in National Studies

Approximately 14 Percent of HBCUs Have Borrowed Just Over Half of the Available Program Funds

Education Has Taken Limited Steps to Determine Schools' Financing Needs and Collect Information and Report on Program Utilization and Effectiveness

THE PROGRAM PROVIDES NEEDED ACCESS TO LOW-COST CAPITAL FINANCING, BUT CERTAIN LOAN TERMS AND CONDITIONS DISCOURAGE PARTICIPATION

The Program Provides Low-Cost Financing and Certain Flexibilities in Comparison to Other Capital Funding Sources

The Escrow Arrangement, among Other Terms and Conditions, Was Cited as a Disincentive to Participating in the Program

EDUCATION HAS TAKEN SOME STEPS TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAM, BUT WEAKNESSES IN MANAGEMENT CONTROL EXIST

Education Has Recently Introduced Some Program Improvements, Including Flexible Loan Terms

Weaknesses in Management Control Exist

Communication with HBCUs.

Compliance with Program and Budget Laws and Federal Financial Accounting Standards

Monitoring the Performance of the DBA

HBCUS AFFECTED BY HURRICANES EXPRESSED SATISFACTION WITH SPECIAL LOAN PROVISIONS AND CONCERNS WITH APPLICATION DEADLINE, WHILE EDUCATION OFFICIALS SAID THEY WOULD EVALUATE LOAN PROCESSES

Gulf Area HBCUs Experienced Significant Hurricane Damage, and the Full Financial Impact May Remain Unknown for Years

Schools Found Select Terms for Emergency Loans Favorable, but Said They Would Be Challenged to Make Application in the Time Allotted

Education Is Preparing to Take Steps to Ensure It Can Provide Loans from Available Funds to Help Hurricane-Affected HBCUs Restore Their Campuses
