HUD's new Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provides targeted emergency assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might therwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities.  HUD has allocated $19.6 million to the State of Maine CDBG program for address the areas of greatest need within Maine. OCD must submit an NSP Action Plan Substantial Amendment to HUD by December 1, 2008 to receive these funds. The State of Maine's NSP substantial amendment describes how OCD will distribute and use the NSP funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 2301(c) (2) of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, 2008.
