The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), which is run by the Housing Finance Agency (HFA), offers subsidies to local municipalities and nonprofit housing providers to buy and redevelop foreclosed and abandoned homes and vacant properties. Once renovated or newly constructed, the homes will then be sold or rented to low-, moderate-, and middle-income households, with mandated long-term affordability. NSP funds are also available for local land banking initiatives focused on foreclosed residential properties, and selected demolition of blighted properties in targeted neighborhoods. The program, funded with Federal and State funds, targets communities most severely affected by the foreclosure and subprime crisis.
HFA received approval for the State's initial allocation of Federal NSP funds (Round 1) in January, 2009. Click here to read the final plan for Round 1 of NSP funding that HFA filed with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
On April 14, 2009, Governor Paterson announced that $59 million in Round 1 NSP grant awards would be distributed to 29 local programs throughout the state.
