Through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a total of $2 billion in NSP1 and NSP3 funds were provided to communities hardest hit by residential foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies.
After receiving $4.1 million of these funds in April of 2009, Neighborhood Services obligated the full amount in only 17 months and purchased 37 abandoned and foreclosed homes in Fiscal Year 2009/2010. Monies were used for down payments, closing costs and home repairs, which assisted families in purchasing foreclosed homes at a discount within targeted neighborhoods. Assistance of up to $50,000 per home was available.
In February of 2011, the City of Henderson was awarded an additional $3.9 million in NSP3 funds. These monies are being utilized to assist families in purchasing foreclosed homes at a discount within targeted neighborhoods. The funds can be used for down payments, closing costs and home repairs.
