The Commonwealth of Massachusetts through the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is proposing to file a competitive grant application seeking funds under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2).  Funding is provided the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.  The primary goal of NSP2 is the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed upon homes and residential properties, first through the arrest of neighborhood decline and secondly by stabilizing the neighborhood and positioning the neighborhood for a sustainable role in a revitalized community. 

The proposed strategic, targeted census tracts are within the following communities:

• Athol
• Gardner
• North Adams
• Orange
• Pittsfield
