PUBLIC NOTICE
SUBSTANIAL AMENDMENT TO THE
DOUGLAS COUNTY
NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM 3 (NSP3) ACTION PLAN
The Douglas County Planning & Zoning Office is proposing to substantially amend its Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) Action Plan. The Substantial Amendment expands the eligible uses of Douglas County NSP3 funds to include redevelopment of demolished or vacant housing properties (i.e. Eligible Use E) in the NSP3 Target Areas. Due to the change in market conditions, the availability of foreclosed homes has diminished, therefore the County’s NSP3 Action Plan needs to be expanded to allow for the redevelopment of vacant properties, as allowed under Eligible Use E. The utilization of the remaining NSP3 funds for Eligible Use E Activities will also assist the County in meeting the LH25 requirement, necessary to close out the NSP3 grant.
| Project # | Eligible Use | Income Target | Current Budget | Shift of Funds | Proposed Budget |
| NSP3-01 | Activity B | 120% AMI | $2,157,835.80 | $0.00 | $2,157,835.80 |
| NSP3-02 | Activity B | 50% AMI | $781,802.04 | -$32,799.59 | $749,002.45 |
| NSP3-03 | Admin | NA | $151,570.32 | -$65,804.21 | $85,766.11 |
| NSP3-04 | Activity B | 120% AMI | $28,000 | $0.00 | $28,000 |
| NSP3-05 | Activity B | 50% AMI | $8,000 | $0.00 | $8,000 |
| NSP3-06 | Activity E | 50% AMI | $0.00 | $98,603.80 | $98,603.80 |
| Total | $3,127,208.16 | $0.00 | $3,127,208.16 | ||
