The City of Long Beach is an entitlement jurisdiction for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. For more information on these grants, please visit the Housing and Urban Development page.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) consolidated the planning and application process of HUD-funded grant programs in 1995 to coordinate program requirements and simplify the process of requesting and obtaining federal funds through what is now called the Consolidated Plan. The current Consolidated Plan covers the period of Oct. 1, 2023, to Sept. 30, 2027 (described in fiscal years as FY 23 – FY 27).

It describes the City's plan to create a viable urban community that offers affordable housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, especially for low and moderate-income persons. The activities the City will undertake to achieve its stated objectives are described in this document, which was approved by the Long Beach City Council and HUD in 2022.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP-1) provides grants to every state and certain local communities to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes at a discount and to rehabilitate, resell or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes.

The City's Community Development Department is eligible to receive $5,070,310 in NSP funds, which is outlined in the Substantial Amendment to the 2008 – 2009 Action Plan. During a public hearing on Oct. 15, 2008, the Department presented the Summary of the Substantial Amendment to the public and Community Development Advisory Commission (CDAC).

Neighborhood Stabilization Program Requirements

• Require all funds be used with respect to individuals and families whose income does not exceed 120% of area median income (AMI).
• Require that at least 25% of the funds be used for the purchase and redevelopment of homes and properties that will be used to house individuals and families with incomes not greater than 50% of AMI.
• Require states and local governments to give priority emphasis and consideration to areas with the greatest need, including those: with the greatest percentage of home foreclosures, the highest percentage of sub-prime mortgages and those at risk of increased foreclosures.
• No matching funds are required.
• Direct states and local governments to use their allocation within 18 months of receipt.

Allowable Activities

• Allow funds to be used for establishing financing mechanisms for purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed homes;
• Purchasing and rehabilitating properties that have been abandoned or foreclosed;
• Establishing land banks for foreclosed homes;
• Demolishing blighted structures; and

The City is amending the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP-2) Action Plan. Under this revision, the City will change the target area where NSP-2 funds can be used to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes to reduce effects of foreclosure in area neighborhoods. The change is being considered in order to enhance a concentrated effort in a focused area of impact. The public comment period for reviewing the draft amendment to the Action Plan was held from March 1 – 16, 2011. At the end of the review period, a public hearing was conducted by the Community Development Advisory Commission (CDAC) at their regularly scheduled meeting on March 16, 2011.

The Community Development Department proposed an Amendment to its NSP-2 Action Plan in 2011. The Department also applied for and was awarded NSP-2 competitive grant funds, with a final application drafted in 2009.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 provided an additional $1 billion for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) that was originally established under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded grants to 270 local and state governments to mitigate the negative impact of the nation's economic decline and housing market collapse and to stabilize and revitalize communities/areas hit the hardest.

The City of Long Beach was awarded $1,567,935 in NSP-3 funds based on a formula using the number foreclosures in our City, among other factors. The City amended the FY 2011 Action Plan to accomodate this new funding. The City modeled NSP-3 eligible areas and expenditure of these funds after the following NSP-1 activities:

1. Purchase and rehabilitate single-family residential properties that have been abandoned or foreclosed-upon and resale to qualifying homebuyers.
2. Purchase and rehabilitate multi-family residential properties that have been abandoned or foreclosed-upon and transfer to qualifying nonprofit housing agencies.
3. Acquisition, demolition and redevelopment activity

Once these properties are rehabilitated, the City will sell them to qualified buyers that earn 120% or less of the average median income (AMI).
