The Neighborhood Housing and Economic Stabilization Program (NHESP) was created by an Act of the West Virginia Legislature to promote the redevelopment and revitalization of low income, minority neighborhoods in the State of West Virginia. The West Virginia Legislature appropriated $2,400,000 through the Economic Development Authority to the West Virginia Housing Development Fund. The NHESP provides financial assistance to local not-for-profit organizations that have the staff and capacity to implement a local housing assistance program and job training program in eligible neighborhoods.
Information regarding eligible applicants, eligible neighborhoods and other NHESP program information is set forth in the NHESP Program Description and the NHESP Request for Proposals.
