Lead paint, loan modication, and spiking foreclosures top Queens list of theboroughs most bedeviling housing preservation ghts, according to NHSJ. In re-spons to ths prasi problms in thir catchmnt ara, NHSJ administrda lad paint-rlatd sminar or forclosr prntion worshop on arag ofonce every four days last scal year. Indeed, according to NHSJ Executive Direc -

tor Cathy Micns, From Jly 2009 to Jn 2010, w condctd 13 lad smi-nars to 176 popl, 21 otrach sminars [training th trainrs] to 705 popl; 72foreclosure workshops to 1,422 people, and 19 rst-time homeownership trainingsto 269 popl. In all, Micns rconts that ths arios trainings wr admin-istrd by NHSJ or 125 tims to an adinc of mor than 2,000 popl. Anaccomplishmnt worthy of prais by any yard stic!

In addition to proiding dirct srics, NHSJ is also intnt on dcating policymars abot hosing-rlatd problms facing woring class Nw Yorrs. Wwere also able to bring staff members from the FDIC on a bus tour to see rst-hand

just how hard foreclosure hit Queens, says Mickens. These activities and achieve-mnts wold ha bn impossibl withot fnding from th Hosing PrsrationInitiati (HPI).

Simply statd, HPI is a City Concil-fndd program that is focsd on hlpingneighborhood-based not-for-prot organizations to identify and confront threatsto affordabl hosing within Nw Yor City. Micns plains how HPI fnding iscentral to supporting the core work of NHSJ. She says, HPI is exible, project-ll spport. It allows s to do so mch li administr or sminars, contractwith a lawyr to proid lgal srics, or rspond qicly to hosing nds in ornighborhood.

For ANHD Inc., th princ of NHJS in proid-ing dcational sminars and addrssing th rootcass of th nighborhoods forclosr crisis ills-trats th powr and ffctinss of a program liHPI. Indeed, when ANHD Inc. rst fought to get HPIfndd in 2007, w intndd th program to b corfnding for organizations woring on th grond todal with hosing prsration isss across NwYor City. HPI was mant to incras th ability ofnighborhood-basd grops to rspond to a arityof problms in thir own grassroots way.

The beauty of HPI is its exibility, says ANHD executive Director BenjaminDlchin. If yo ta a loo at how this mony is bing spnt, yoll s this pro-gram has pron itslf to b highly ffcti. Indd, from organizing tnants inNYCHA dlopmnts in Brownsill, to langag accss and translation sricsin Chinatown, to dirct consling to at-ris homownrs in Th Bron, to sp-porting th Brath Pilot Program on asthma, to partnring with local mdia top hosing prsration information abzz in commnitis, HPI is a targtdresource that exibly supports activities beyond bricks and mortar approaches tohosing prsration in th city.

Ths fnds hlp s trmndosly, in trms of otrach and gtting th word ot,says Cabiria Hylton, a Program Dlopmnt Spcialist at Wst Harlm Grop As-sistanc (WHGA). Sh says, W ha 12,000 nits across Harlm. each dlop-mnt has or logo; th nam Wst Harlm Grop Assistanc with a grn swooshon the top, yet, during our outreach...mailings and iers, people come to us andtll s w didnt now yo offrd ths othr srics. With th assistanc of thHPI, w ha bn abl to rach or 600 clints.

Gtting th word ot is part of what HPI fnding is all abot. A fw yars ago,WHGA sd thir HPI fnds to otrach byond thir typical catchmnt ara.

Whn A N H Dpshdth City Concil toadopt th HPI as astapl discrtionaryitm, th goal wasto gt mor in-ndnighborhoods ad-equate funds to ghtnighborhood hos-

ing thrats with grass-roots soltions.

Sinc, 2007, 19 ANHDgrops ha consis-tntly rcid HPIfnds to sric idn-tied catchment areasacross this city in waysthat ar grassroots.
