Neighborhood Housing Rehabilitation Program (NHRP); direct Mississippi Home Corporation to establish using federal funds.

SB 2252 directs the Mississippi Home Corporation to establish a Neighborhood Housing Rehabilitation Program (NHRP) using federal funds (like ARPA and CDBG) to assist low-income homeowners. The program prioritizes owner-occupied properties in municipalities, focusing on correcting health/safety issues, improving energy efficiency, fixing lead paint, and bringing homes up to building codes. It creates a revolving fund in the state treasury to ensure unspent funds remain available for future use, with annual reports to the legislature. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and never became law.
