The Neighbor-hood Reinvestment Corporation (re-ferred to in this part as the Corporation) was establish
3、ed by Congress in the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corpora-tion Act (title VI of the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978, Pub. L. 95557, October 31, 1978). The Corporation is not a department, agency, or instrumentality of the Fed-eral Government. (b) The Corporation is authorized to r
4、eceive and expend Federal appropria-tions and other public and private reve-nues to conduct a variety of programs designed primarily to revitalize older urban neighborhoods by mobilizing public, private, and community re-sources at the neighborhood level. These programs include: (1) Neighborhood Hou
5、sing Services. The major effort of the Corporation is to assist local communities in the devel-opment, expansion and provision of technical services to local Neighbor-hood Housing Services (NHS) pro-grams. NHS programs are based upon partnerships of community residents, and representatives of local
6、govern-ments and financial institutions. Each local program is administered by an autonomous, private, non-profit cor-poration, and conducts a comprehen-sive revitalization effort in locally se-lected neighborhoods. Services to neighborhood residents include reha-bilitation counseling, construction
7、as-sistance, financial counseling, loan re-ferrals and loans at flexible rates and terms to homeowners who do not meet private lending criteria. Programs and strategies to remove blighting influ-ences, obtain improved public services and amenities, and improve the neigh-borhoods image and the functi
8、oning of its real estate market are also under-taken. To insure the continuing effec-tiveness of NHS programs, the Corpora-tion provides grants, training, informa-tion and technical services to NHS pro-grams. (2) Mutual Housing Associations. The Corporation also supports the organiza-tional developm
9、ent of, and provides technical assistance to, Mutual Hous-ing Associations. Mutual Housing As-sociations are private, nonprofit orga-nizations which own, manage and con-tinually develop affordable housing. Mutual Housing residents are members of the Association which owns and manages their buildings
10、; thus they enjoy the security of long-term hous-ing tenure. Mutual Housing develop-ments are capitalized through up-front grants and mortgages in a combination that ensures permanent affordability to low- and moderate-income families. Monthly housing charges to residents are kept at affordable leve
11、ls on a con-tinuing basis. A key element of Mutual Housing is the Associations commit-ment to use all resources in excess of operating and maintenance costs for the production of additional units. A Mutual Housing Associations board of directors includes current member- residents, potential resident
12、s, and rep-resentatives from the community, local government and business. Resi-dents and community members make up the majority on the board. A highly qualified professional staff, employed by the Mutual Housing Association, carries out the day-to-day activities of the organization. In addition to
13、cre-ating new affordable housing opportu-nities, Mutual Housing Associations offer a creative alternative for sub-sidized rental housing developments whose subsidies are scheduled to ex-pire. (3) Neighborhood preservation projects. The Corporation identifies, monitors, evaluates and supports through
14、 dem-onstration grants and technical assist-ance other promising neighborhood preservation strategies based on local, public-private partnerships.

Proven, replicable programmatic tools are of-fered as broadly as resources permit. Often, these selected strategies are supported by Neig
16、hborhood Reinvest-ment grants. The Corporations major programmatic supplements include the following: (i) Neighborhood economic development and commercial revitalization strategies. The Corporations neighborhood eco-nomic development and commercial re-vitalization strategies offer NHSs a va-riety of
17、 tools designed to stabilize and enhance the economic base of NHS neighborhoods. They complement NHSs revitalization mission by focus-ing the energies and resources of the partnership on the economic issues un-derlying neighborhood decline. Neigh-borhood economic development and commercial revitaliz
18、ation assures a viable neighborhood economy by strengthening small businesses and im-proving the physical environment of the area, thus providing additional goods, services, and employment oppor-tunities for the community. (ii) Housing Development Strategies. The Corporations Housing Develop-ment St
19、rategies program addresses the shortage of affordable, quality housing available to low to moderate income families in NHS neighborhoods, as well as the blighting effect of vacant lots and substandard properties. Home own-ership opportunities are created through the planning and implementa-tion of a
20、 variety of housing mecha-nisms by the NHS, which are intended to reverse negative real estate market trends, enhance new residential growth, and create renewed neighbor-hood pride. The mechanisms being used to achieve these goals include the fol-lowing. (A) The Owner Built Housing pro-gram is a sup
21、ervised housing construc-tion process that helps moderate-in-come homeowners to collectively build their own homes. The NHS provides technical assistance while private lend-ers and public bodies providing financ-ing. (B) The Owner Rehab Housing pro-gram assists low to moderate income families in col
22、lectively rehabilitating existing blighted and vacant struc-tures. (C) The Infill Housing program pro-vides a mechanism for assisting NHSs in building new units on vacant land to meet the needs of prospective lower in-come homeowners. (D) The Urban Subdivisions program focuses on providing low cost,
23、 new housing for low-to-moderate income families on tracts of land suitable for the construction of 20 or more units. (iii) Problem properties strategies. This program assists NHSs in addressing specific problem areas beyond the scope of basic NHS services and typical financial resources. Through th
24、e imple-mentation of various problem prop-erties strategies, NHS programs are able to assist tenants to purchase, im-prove the physical condition of target blocks, eliminate vacant neighborhood eyesores, develop housing and service facilities for special populations, and stimulate private reinvestme
25、nt and new conventional mortgages in the NHS community. (5) Apartment Improvement Program. The goal of the Apartment Improve-ment Program is to provide an effec-tive, economical means of revitalizing and preserving neighborhoods with multi-family housing for the benefit of the current residents. The
26、 program is based upon a partnership of tenants and community representatives, prop-erty owners and managers, financial institutions and local government. The program assists in the development of an individually tailored improvement plan of activities from which each building may benefit, including
27、 tenant participation, tax assessment reviews, and increased investment or restruc-tured mortgages to improve the eco-nomic viability of the buildings and to finance improvements. (6) Neighborhood Housing Services of America. The Corporation also supports Neighborhood Housing Services of America (NH
28、SA), an independent, pri-vate, non-profit corporation which pro-vides a variety of services to local NHS programs, including a secondary mar-ket for NHS revolving loan fund loans, and the strengthening of private sector resources available to the network of local NHSs. 49 FR 12700, Mar. 30, 1984, as
