• HUD Office of University Partnerships: The Office of University Partnerships (OUP) facilitates the formation of campus-community partnerships through sharing information about community partnership development, in general, and about OUP's various funded programs. Our Web site provides many helpful resources, including funding, research, news, events, technical assistance, and highlights of campus-community activities nationwide. OUP is committed to helping colleges and universities join with their neighbors to address urban problems—partnerships that enable students, faculty, and neighborhood organizations to work together to revitalize the economy, generate jobs, and rebuild healthy communities.
