Neighborhood Stabilization Program
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was established for the purpose of stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. Through the purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed and abandoned homes and residential properties, the goal of the program can be realized. Learn how your financial institution can collaborate with jurisdictions to make the program work.
