Neighborhood Stabilization Programs (NSP 1 and NSP 2)
The city of Phoenix received a total of $99.4 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to help stabilize Phoenix neighborhoods impacted by the foreclosure crisis. NSP homeownership programs offer $15,000 loans for down payment and closing costs and up to $40,000 for repairs of foreclosed homes in select ZIP codes. No payments, zero interest. Approximately $31.5 million is reserved for the acquisition and rehabilitation of foreclosed multi-family apartment communities to create or preserve affordable rental units (at or below 50 percent area median income) and/or eliminate blighting conditions.

Phoenix Recovery
City of Phoenix Mayor, City Council and staff continue to work aggressively to secure funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to create local jobs and stimulate our economy. Our goal is to show how federal stimulus or “Recovery” dollars are being spent in Phoenix. All Phoenix projects receiving ARRA funds are listed in five categories that describe the status of each of the individual projects.
