S.N.A.P. -- Strategic Neighborhood Assistance Program

SNAP is a cooperative effort created through the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) with the help of Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) to help municipalities develop comprehensive strategis for meeting neighborhood needs. SNAP's primary goal is to strategically invest financial and other resources in threatened but viable neighborhoods to stabilize and revitalize them and provide a significant and visible impact in the community. It seeks to positively address housing, social, and economic issues in target neighborhoods. SNAP projects are as follows: Neighborhood Preservation Programs, Relocation Assistance, Weatherization, and Lead-Based Paint Abatement Program (LBP).
