Neighborhood Stabilization Program
The purpose of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program is to assist communities that have been, or are likely to
be affected by foreclosures, while providing affordable rental and homeownership opportunities to households at or
below 120% of Area Median Income. Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA) was allocated $19.6 million in
Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 (NSP1) funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
A second round of NSP funding was made available by HUD in May of 2009. DSHA agreed to be the lead applicant in developing
a statewide application for NSP2 funding. New Castle County, Kent County, Sussex County and the City of Wilmington all
worked with DSHA to develop the application and will be the recipients of NSP2 funding if the application is funded.
DSHA is taking comments on this proposal from July 2, 2009 - July 13, 2009. See NSP_2 information below
