Neighborhood Stabilization Program
Congress recently passed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (H.R.3221) (HERA). This act is being implemented by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP).
Through this program, governmental or non-profit entities are authorized to purchase foreclosed properties from banks and/or other financial institutions. If necessary, the properties can either be rehabilitated or demolished and redeveloped. Neighborhood Stabilization Program Fact Sheet
