Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Quarterly Report

This presentation outlines the background, implementation strategy, performance review, challenges, and opportunities of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) in Orange County. NSP was created in response to rising foreclosures and property abandonment. Key activities include acquiring and rehabilitating foreclosed properties, providing down payment assistance, and demolishing blighted structures. The implementation strategy involves collaboration with internal and external partners, such as realtors, financial institutions, and energy companies. Challenges include a warming housing market, while opportunities include neighborhood stabilization and job creation. Additional activities include issuing a multi-family RFP, allocating funds for rental housing rehabilitation, and creating an NSP website. The summary highlights the program's progress, ongoing activities, and potential expansion through NSP II. For more information, visit www.ocfl.net/housing.
