NSP - Neighborhood Stabilization Program
About the Neighborhood Stabilization Programs
Congress passed and the President signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) that allowed the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide a one-time $3.92 billion source of CDBG funds for emergency assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The City of Saint Paul was allocated $4.3M directly from HUD and another $6.3M from the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency.
In 2009, Congress appropriated additional Neighborhood Stabilization funds. On May 4, 2009, HUD released the Notice of Fund Availability (NOFA) for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, 2009. Under the program round in this notice, applicants competed for up to $1.93 billion of NSP2 funds to carry out neighborhood stabilization programs. The City was awarded $18 million of NSP2 funding by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in January of 2010.
The City of Saint Paul received notification of an allocation of Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. An application for this funding was submitted March 1, 2011. The application was revised March 11, 2011.
