NYC Foreclosure Prevention Gap Loan Program

In Fall 2008, NEDAP launched the NYC Foreclosure Prevention Gap Loan Program.  The program makes low interest loans up to $25,000 to low income NYC homeowners facing foreclosure, and is designed to complement other foreclosure prevention initiatives in NYC.  To apply, a homeowner must be working with a foreclosure prevention counselor, attorney or other advocate.  Click here for more information about the program and how to apply.

Microenterprise and Youth Violence Prevention Conference

In June 2005, NEDAP was the lead organizer of a national conference on microenterprise as a tool for youth violence prevention.  The event brought together groups from around the country for a two-day gathering on youth microenterprise as a tool for social justice, including: Homeboy Industries, Youth Biz, People's Grocery, Homeboyz Interactive, Added Value, and From Streets to Skills.  The groups met for two days of working sessions, followed by a public panel highlighting youth microenterprise organizations.
