NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM 1 (NSP1)

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Housing and Community Resources is responsible for administering $51,470,620 in NSP funding allocated under the Federal Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 ( HERA ).  Under Title III of HERA, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program provides assistance to local governments, non-profit and for- profit developers,  for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes.  The program is intended to prevent further declines in neighborhoods most severely impacted by foreclosures, and which are statistically at high risk of continued deterioration, but otherwise have attributes that will ameliorate the impact of the foreclosures. 

Eligible NSP fund uses include acquisition of foreclosed-upon housing units, abandoned housing units and vacant land; rehabilitation of housing units  in order to sell or rent such housing units to households at or below 120 percent of area median income; demolition of blighted structures; new construction of housing for projects involving the redevelopment of demolished or vacant properties; and redevelopment of acquired property for residential and non-residential uses, including public parks, commercial uses or mixed residential and commercial use.  All NSP funding must be used with respect to individuals and families whose income does not exceed 120 percent of area median income, and at least 25 percent of this amount must be used for residential units that are affordable to households whose incomes do not exceed 50 percent of area median income.
