Some NSP Funding Could Come This Way . . .

We reported yesterday that Salisbury is not slated to receive a grant to assist with home foreclosure from HUD's Neighborhood Stabilization Fund. However if you check yesterday's posting, we listed (3) state-wide agencies were listed as recipients. The grants were issued on a "greatest needs" basis. It turns out that Rowan County was assessed as a greatest need county and the three statewide organizations selected will ensure the areas of greatest need in the 23 counties receive assistance. So we may see some funding after all. We are not sure how this will be distributed or how one goes about applying, if necessary, to receive the funding. We'll try to learn more and post here as we become educated.
In North Carolina, areas in 23 counties met the “greatest need” criteria: Alamance, Brunswick, Buncombe, Cabarrus, Catawba, Cumberland, Dare, Davidson, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Iredell, Johnston, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Pitt, Randolph, Rowan, Union, Vance and Wake.
