Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP 3)

Substantial Amendment

The County of Cook, Bureau of Economic Development, is accepting citizen comments regarding its proposed Draft Substantial Amendment to the PY 2010 Annual Action Plan and the PY 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan for an additional allocation of funds under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). The current amendment supresedes the previous Substantial Amendment dated February 28, 2011. The significant changes reflected in the document are a redrawing of the NSP 3 Target Areas and the inclusion of acquisitions and rehabilitation of rental housing as an approved project activity. All other material items have remained unchanged.

 

Cook County has been awarded $7,776,324 in NSP 3 funding under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The purpose of NSP 3 is to further assist communities that have been affected by foreclosed and abandoned properties, while providing affordable rental and homeownership opportunities to households at or below 120% of Area Median Income (AMI) in select areas of greatest need. Specific programs or activities for NSP 3 funds have been included within the Draft Substantial Amendment document.

 

An important part of the process of developing the original Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, and this Amendment is to allow citizen participation and input. All interested parties are invited and encouraged to provide comments.

 

Comments on the proposed Draft Substantial Amendment to the PY 2010 Annual Action Plan and the PY 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan are currently being solicited through February 28, 2011.

 

Questions and requests for information should be directed to the NSP Program Manager at 312-603-1000. Written comments should be directed to: NSP Program Manager, Cook County Bureau of Economic Development, 69 West Washington Street, Suite 2900, Chicago, Illinois 60602. Written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. on February 24, 2011 in order to receive consideration.
