Gracias Mercedes and All ~~ I will pass this on to a few groups and research
further into this Grant. I remember the CTC a few years when it was just
starting up and was not able to interest a non-profit transitional housing
program I was staying at as a resident. It was funded by different agencies,
including HUD and the Volunteers of America. We were able to get a small
computer lab going, but with no Internet Access. All progressive legitimate
groups need to keep struggling to help bridge the digital divide between the
'haves' and the 'have-nots' on a on-going basis. Right now, I am at the
California State University at Sacramento Email station wherein a regular
non-student can utilize the computer for Internet Access to check out their
Email.
Blessings, Brother Peter S. Lopez

The purpose of the CTC program is to assist eligible applicants to create or
expand community technology centers that provide disadvantaged residents of
economically distressed urban and rural communities with access to information
technology and related training. In order to reach additional needy
communities, the Assistant
Secretary has determined that the best policy for the Department in FY
2005 is to fund additional high-quality applications and that a
sufficient number of high-quality 2004 applications remain available
for funding.
