NSP Investment Cluster (NIC) Reports Through March 31, 2012 Now Available
NSP Investment Cluster (NIC) Reports through March 31, 2012 are now available on the
NSP Resource Exchange. The NIC study analyzes how markets treated with a concentration of NSP investment have changed over time compared to similar markets that have only minimally or not been touched by NSP. These findings are then displayed in a series of maps and reports at the cluster level and at the grantee level. These tools can assist grantees and HUD in understanding how markets in which they are investing are changing over time, and how certain types of investment might affect NSP target areas.
View a summary of nationwide NIC performance and the methodology used to generate the reports. Note: The grantee reports are dated May 15, 2012 which reflects the date data were drawn from DRGR. However, in accordance with NSP reporting practices and standards, the data in the report reflect performance through March 31, 2012.
