NEIGHBORWORKS AMERICA'S HOUSING STABILITY COUNSELING PROGRAM AWARDS OVER $88 MILLION IN GRANTS

摘要

NeighborWorks America has awarded over $88 million in support of 131 organizations to address foreclosure and eviction prevention counseling efforts in communities across the U.S. After receiving funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 earlier this year, NeighborWorks America designed the Housing Stability Counseling Program (HSCP) for nationwide implementation. The program seeks to help eligible nonprofits and agencies provide direct housing counseling services to individuals and families facing housing instability, such as eviction, foreclosure and homelessness. "With the implementation of the Housing Stability Counseling Program, we know that we are helping to mitigate the risk of eviction and foreclosure for some very vulnerable populations. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the needs of far too many individuals and families at risk of losing their homes," said NeighborWorks America President & CEO Marietta Rodriguez. "HSCP is the type of collaboration between nonprofits and government we know makes a difference for the communities we serve."
