    (a) General. This part establishes as a permanent program the John 
Heinz Neighborhood Development Program, as authorized by section 832 of 
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. Previously, the 
program had been administered by the Department as a demonstration 
program under section 123 of the Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 
1983 (42 U.S.C. 5318 note).
    (b) Purpose. The program is intended to assist communities to become 
more viable, by providing incentive funds to carry out neighborhood 
development activities that benefit low- and moderate-income families. 
The program objectives are to increase the capacity of neighborhood 
organizations, promote long-term financial support for their 
neighborhood projects, and encourage greater participation of 
neighborhood organizations with private and public institutions.
