ANDP Neighborhood Stabilization Program
NSP Main  |  Atlanta  |  DeKalb  |  Douglas  |  Fulton  |  Henry  |  Rockdale

Overview

Metro Atlanta families and neighborhoods are being devastated by the foreclosure crisis. In 2005, at the height of the subprime lending boom, Georgia ranked third nationally in mortgage fraud and fifth for percentage of subprime loans. In 2008, there were more than 85,000 foreclosure filings in Georgia, an increase of more than 44% over 2007 and a 117% increase over 2006. But the problem isn’t isolated to the City of Atlanta. Metro Atlanta as a whole accounts for 81% of the state’s foreclosures. Just this year alone, there have been more than 88,000 foreclosures for the 10-county metro Atlanta – a 40% increase from the same time last year. In fact, Atlanta ranks third nationally behind only Las Vegas and Detroit in the number of vacant rental units and single family homes.

The Housing & Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) included funding for a program named Neighborhood Stabilization Program - allocations totaling more than $97 million for metro Atlanta. Currently, we are partnering with the City of Atlanta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fulton, Henry and Rockdale counties to manage $18.4 million in NSP funds to reoccupy 240 vacant and foreclosed homes by 2010.

The following table briefly describes the type of activity associated with ANDP's NSP program, and which activities are associated with which jurisdictions.
