Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Quarterly Reports

The City of Philadelphia received the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 (NSP 1) grant in 2008, and Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP 2) grant in 2009. All Quarterly Performance Reports (QPRs) submitted for both NSP 1 and NSP 2 during their respective grant periods are posted on the DHCD website. These reports are for archival purposes only. Please note that the following QPRs are not available for both the NSP 1 and NSP 2 grants and were therefore purposely omitted from the list: June 2017, September 2017, and December 2017.

    OHS Service Connections/Site Clean-ups

    July 8, 2026
    All Day
    Multiple locations
    map

    A Service Connection/Site Clean-up will occur today at: 

    • 2201 S. 16th Street (Guerin Recreation Center)

    • 4300-4398 Baltimore Avenue (Clark Park)
    • 200 N. Camac Street

    About Service Connection/Site Clean-up Days  

    Office of Homeless Services Encampment Resolution Team (ERT) staff members join the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services’s (DBHIDS) Homeless Street Outreach Team (Outreach) and the City’s Sanitation Department to conduct Service Connection/Site Clean-up Days.* OHS’s ERT staff schedules and leads service connection clean-ups at various selected outdoor encampment locations in Philadelphia.   

    How it Works  

    The teams post signs in advance to alert people living in tents, RVs, makeshift shelters, or none at all, on sidewalks, under bridges, in parks, empty fields, lots, etc., of upcoming service days. Each service day, the teams visit the encampment sites to offer individuals services, such as rides to a City intake center where staff can help find shelter space, Stranded Traveler Assistance, behavioral health, drug or medical treatment, and other similar services. The Sanitation Department team further assists by cleaning up accumulated trash.  

     *Service days are not the same as formal, encampment resolutions, which, while social services-led, involve many more City of Philadelphia departments and nonprofit partners and follow specific protocols regarding personal property storage, notification, and other requirements.
