This dataset provides grantee information for the second round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) formula funding (referred to as NSP2) authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The NSP provides emergency assistance to state and local governments for the acquisition and redevelopment of foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The ARRA provided a second round of funds in 2009. NSP2 provides grants to states, local governments, nonprofits and a consortium of nonprofit entities on a competitive basis. The Recovery Act also authorized HUD to establish NSP-TA (Technical Assistance), a $50 million allocation made available to national and local technical assistance providers to support NSP grantees. NSP2 grantee areas are comprised of the 2010 U.S. Census Tract boundaries.

This dataset provides grantee information for the first round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) formula funding to States and units of general local government (UGLG), (referred to as NSP1) allowed under Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008. The NSP provides emergency assistance to state and local governments for the acquisition and redevelopment of foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. For the first round of funding HUD awarded grants to a total of 309 grantees including the 55 states, territories, and selected local governments to stabilize communities hardest hit by foreclosures and delinquencies.

Revitalization areas are HUD-designated neighborhoods in need of economic and community development and where there is already a strong commitment by the local governments.

This service provides information and target areas for recipients of HUD's Choice Neighborhood Program Grant. Choice Neighborhoods grants build upon the successes of public housing transformation under HOPE VI to provide support for the preservation and rehabilitation of public and HUD-assisted housing, within the context of a broader approach to concentrated poverty.

This dataset denotes the primary point locations of CDBG activities, and provides specific information relative to each award activity, aggregated to the 2010 US Census Tract level. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal block grant distributed (via formula) to states and local governments. Recipients use the grant funds to carry out housing, economic development, and public improvement efforts that serve low, and moderate-income communities. Such activities may fall within Asset Acquisition, Economic Development, Housing, Public Improvements, and Public Services.

The Sustainable Communities Regional Planning (SCRP) Grant Program supports locally-led collaborative efforts that bring together diverse interests from the many municipalities in a region to determine how best to target housing, economic and workforce development, and infrastructure investments to create more jobs and regional economic activity. The Program places a priority on investing in partnerships, including nontraditional partnerships (e.g., arts and culture, recreation, public health, food systems, regional planning agencies and public education entities) that translate the six Livability Principles into strategies that direct long-term development and reinvestment, demonstrate a commitment to addressing issues of regional significance, use data to set and monitor progress toward performance goals, and engage stakeholders and residents in meaningful decision-making roles. The SCRP program is a key initiative of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, in which HUD works with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to coordinate and leverage programs and investments.

NSP Production Reports contain cumulative data on units assisted with NSP funds. An NSP grantee reports on the accomplishment of an activity when it meets an End Use, such as providing down payment assistance to an eligible household, demolition of a blighted property, or acquiring and rehabbing a foreclosed property and selling it to an eligible owner occupant. These reports include three Summary Reports of aggregated data for all NSP1, NPS2 and NSP3 grantees, as well as individual state reports for the NSP1 and NSP3 programs. The NSP2 Summary Report does not include State and Local Government data, as NSP2 funding was awarded through a competitive process that includes non-profit organizations. It should also be noted that where the data indicate State vs. Local Government, State refers to the state grantees while Local Government refers to the municipal and urban county grantees.

This service provides location, and relevant data for Community Challenge Planning Grant recipients. The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Challenge Planning Grant Program fosters reform and reduces barriers to achieving affordable, economically vital, and sustainable communities. Such efforts may include amending or replacing local master plans, zoning codes, and building codes, either on a jurisdiction-wide basis or in a specific neighborhood, district, corridor, or sector to promote mixed-use development, affordable housing, the reuse of older buildings and structures for new purposes, and similar activities with the goal of promoting sustainability at the local or neighborhood level.

This dataset provides the locations and pertinent information for Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program grantee areas. Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 provides for a loan guarantee component of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108) provides communities with a source of financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and other physical development projects, including improvements to increase their resilience against natural disasters. The funds can be used by a designated public entity to undertake eligible projects, or, alternatively, can be loaned to a third party developer to undertake the projects. This flexibility makes it one of the most potent and important public investment tools that HUD offers to local governments.
