City of Bessemer NRSA

The City of Bessemer Community Development Department intends to apply to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to designate the below-described area as a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategic Areas (NRSA). This will allow the City to focus its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in a defined area and increase the impact of these investments.
 
Please note that this designation does not provide any additional CDBG funding to the City but will facilitate the identification, attraction, and leveraging of other government and private sector funding. Specific benefits of NRSAs include the following:

  • Greater flexibility in using CDBG funds to create and retain jobs.
  • Allowing the use of CDBG housing assistance to a wider variety of income groups with at least 51% of units assisted benefiting low-and moderate-income persons.
  • Community economic development and neighborhood revitalization activities.
  • Greater flexibility in providing public services in the NRSAs.

The City of Bessemer (City) requires your input and participation in developing the NRSA application. Your responses will be kept anonymous. Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
