Revitalization Areas in Phoenix

HUD revitalization areas are designated geographic areas.

The criteria for designation is specified by Congress at 12 USC 1710(h). The criteria are: very low income, a low homeownership rate or a disproportionately high concentration of delinquent or foreclosed FHA-insured properties.

HUD designates revitalization areas for the purposes of expanding homeownership opportunities by offering for sale, at a discount, HUD-owned single family properties located in these areas.

Revitalization areas are the basis for HUD programs such as the Asset Control Area program, Good Neighbor Next Door Program (formerly the Officer/Teacher Next Door Program), and the Direct Sales Program for Nonprofit agencies and Municipalities.
