Neighborhood Stabilization

A Solution to Foreclosures in Your Community

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) has partnered with local cities and communities for twenty years.  We understand first-hand what it takes to transform communities and we want to make sure that the investment we have made does not fall victim to a challenged economy nor places families and neighborhoods at risk of destabilization.  In response, we have expanded our rehabilitation program to transform foreclosed properties into homeownership opportunities for low and very low-income families.

HFH GLA has joined HUD in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to purchase foreclosed properties and stabilize communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment. Using federal NSP funds, HFH GLA will help families realize the American Dream of homeownership through responsible lending, creating a positive and immediate impact throughout the Greater Los Angeles region.

How it Works

  • HFH GLA acquires vacant Real Estate Owned (REO) properties in the selected communities.
  • We find qualified low-income buyers through our application process. Selected applicants must live and/or work in the community, earn between 30-80% of Area Median Income and qualify for a mortgage.  Learn about the NSP eligibility requirements and how to apply, click here.
  • HFH GLA partners with the selected applicants and community volunteers to rehabilitate the home. Selected applicants contribute Sweat Equity hours towards the work of their home, other Habitat homes, and by attending educational trainings on the basics of homeownership.

How to Apply

HFH GLA is currently accepting applications for homes in Long Beach, Lynwood and South Gate. Learn about the specific NSP eligibility requirements and find out how you can apply, please click here.
