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.

    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.
