Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) through Neighborhood Development Collaborative (NDC)

The Urban Land Conservancy (ULC) is proud to be a partner in implementing the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) in the City of Denver.  NSP is a federal program established to stabilize communities that have suffered from foreclosure and property abandonment.  To this end, the goal is to purchase, redevelopment, and provide affordable housing through both rental and for-sale opportunities to low, moderate, and middle income households.  Additionally the program allows foreclosed properties to be land banked in order to create affordable housing in the future.
