BRP, created in the Spring of 2014 will be used by IHDA to decrease preventable foreclosures and stabilize neighborhoods by supporting Illinois units of government and their Not-For-Profit Partners as they target blighted, vacant, residential properties in specific communities for demolition, greening, and eventual reuse or redevelopment.
