National Vacant Properties Campaign
The National Vacant Properties Campaign was launched by Smart Growth America, LISC, and ICMA in 2003 to advocate for property reclamation and offer technical assistance to communities.
It is designed to help local governments and nonprofits throughout the country develop effective solutions to the pervasive problem of property abandonment - from producing cutting-edge research, identifying and disseminating policy innovations and best practices, and presenting model legislation. In addition to the pilot T.A. Program, the Campaign also offers fee-for-service technical assistance for local governments, nonprofit organizations, and communities. Funders of the Campaign include the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the C.S. Mott Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Surdna Foundation.
