They’re back! The clinics that started the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) are back to assist NSP 1, 2, and 3 grantees with closing out their grants.

HUD is offering detailed technical assistance (TA) in an interactive setting for NSP grantees! All content is designed to assist grantees in addressing obstacles that are preventing their programs from moving toward closeout. These sessions will include a combination of lecture, hands-on exercises, and TA and are valuable for every NSP program practitioner.

REGISTER TODAY to take advantage of this exciting event that includes:

• Dynamic one-stop shopping for closeout needs
• Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) help in hands-on computer labs with highly skilled instructors
• Customized programmatic guidance on your most difficult problems
• One-on-one sessions with experts on topics such as affordability restrictions, program income transfers, rental compliance, property disposition, and much more
• A chance to network with other NSP grantees from your region and across the country

This is likely the LAST TIME such sessions will be made available. Grantees are encouraged to take advantage of this unique opportunity and register today.
