Healthy Neighborhoods NSP2 and Direct Purchase Program
What's NSP2? It stands for Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2, a federally funded effort to mitigate the impacts of foreclosed, short sale and abandoned properties.
The Healthy Neighborhoods Consortium will use these funds to acquire, rehabilitate and resell properties and to provide $25,000 interest-free forgivable loans to homebuyers.
Healthy Neighborhoods, Inc., in a consortium with the City of Baltimore Department of Housing and Community Development, St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center, Druid Heights Community Development Corporation, Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake and Telesis Baltimore Corporation, has been awarded $26,092,880 in NSP2 funds. The Consortium will use these funds to address housing markets across targeted areas in 12 census tracts in Baltimore.
