About this non-profit:

In the second part of .gov, travel to New York City where The Neighborhood Entrepreneurs Program is turning blocks of rundown housing into development opportunities for local entrepreneurs. The city officials work with community leaders, housing programs, businesses and banks to rehabilitate thousands of apartments. The city works to get them back on the tax rolls under private ownership after they've been abandoned by landlords and unsuccessfully managed by the city- without displacing a single tenant.
