Second Round of Stabilization Dollars Latest Boost to Boston’s Aggressive Neighborhood Stabilization Track Record
Mayor Thomas M. Menino today announced that the City’s Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) has been awarded $13.6 million in the second round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funding to assist the City’s ongoing foreclosure prevention and reclamation efforts. Specifically, the competitively awarded funding will allow the City to support responsible redevelopment of up to 275 foreclosed homes in those neighborhoods most burdened by Boston’s bank-owned properties, namely Dorchester, East Boston, Roxbury, Hyde Park, and Mattapan.
“This award accelerates our ability to impact the foreclosure challenges that we’re facing. We’re making important progress, but our neighborhoods are still in danger,” said Mayor Menino. “I want to thank Senators Kerry and Kirk, as well as Congressmen Capuano and Lynch for their continued support of Boston’s neighborhoods. And, in particular, I want acknowledge Congressman Frank for his tireless advocacy on the issue of foreclosure.”
Boston was one 482 total applicants requesting over $15 billion from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in foreclosure funding. Since passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) nearly one year ago, of which this foreclosure funding is part, the City has received close to $280 million in formula and competitive grants as well as bond allocations.
