After repeated requests from advocacy organizations, including the Housing Justice Network, HUD has posted on its website performance reports for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). Among other things, these reports will help local advocates identify the communities in which NSP funds are being spent, the number of foreclosed or abandoned properties that have been acquired with the money, and the amount of funds that the jurisdiction has expended so far.

HUD's NSP Resource Exchange contains a resource library that addresses a variety of topics as well as a Frequently Asked Questions page.
