Reporting Requirements
As the grantor of NSP2 funds, the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) stipulates specific reporting requirements that demonstrate each NSP2 grantee’s progress. As NSP2 grantees, NORA and our Consortium Members always strive to go beyond the required reporting. We maintain transparent, accurate and updated information online, as required by HUD. We also hold all NORA Board meetings in public and publish NORA Board minutes. All of our neighborhood community outreach efforts are well documented and easily accessible.
The HUD reports below are required to be updated quarterly and available to anyone looking for more information about our NSP2 progress. These reports outline the activities against which the grantees have expended funds. If you have questions about these reports or need additional information, please contact a NORA representative here, or call us at (504) 658-4400.
