Understanding Neighborhood Stabilization
Neighborhood stabilization has become a catchphrase that covers many types of activities and programs that share a common goal – ensuring that communities are able to weather the challenges of the foreclosure crisis, and providing families with vibrant, healthy neighborhoods to call home.
Local governments, community-based organizations, and the federal government have a history of investing in neighborhood revitalization and community development. Now, experience and lessons learned in the past are being combined with new strategies borne out of the current crisis. Discover the range of resources devoted specifically to neighborhood stabilization, and more broadly to recovery, remediation, reinvention and renewal.
