Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)

This program helps local jurisdictions purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and rehabilitate, resell or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes. The homes are then sold to low- to moderate-income homebuyers. This program is operated statewide.
