Neighborhood Stabilization Program |
 |
The Commonwealth of Kentucky will receive $37,408,788 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The NSP funds were authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) in July 2008 for the purpose of assisting in the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed homes. The funds will be administered by the Department for Local Government (DLG) in conjunction with the Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC).
Due to the inclement weather and widespread power outages in various areas of the state, the Department for Local Government is postponing the due date for responses to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program Request for Proposals to Friday, Feb. 6, 2009. Applications must be received by the Department (1024 Capital Center Drive, Frankfort) by 4:30 p.m. Staff will continue to provide technical assistance through next week.
2008 NSP Addendum- The citizen participation and LMMI certification pages, which were distributed as part of the program guidelines at the NSP training in late 2008, should be included as part of respondents’ proposals (due Friday, Jan. 30). Please access these at link below. For entities that have already submitted responses, DLG requests this information be provided no later than Friday, Feb. 6, 2009.
