MMRP PROGRAM

Micro Market Recovery Program (MMRP)

The Micro Market Recovery Program is a community revitalization initiative that focuses on small geographic areas to help mitigate the effects of the foreclosure crisis.

In each MMRP area, the City is working with sister agencies and the following community partners: Austin Coming Together, Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation, Garfield Park Community Council, Southwest Organizing Project, The Resurrection Project, Greater Chatham Initiative, Englewood Neighborhood Housing Services, Far Southside Community Development Corporation, Logan Square Neighborhood Association and West Humboldt Neighborhood Housing Services.

The MMRP provides a multitude of resources designed to help stabilize communities.

Dear MMRP Community Partners,

As we all know, there has been great concern throughout our neighborhoods about the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Even so, we want to continue to work hard and serve our neighborhoods during this crisis. Let’s continue to find new and creative ways to reach the people in our 10 neighborhoods. Please, share this information with your communities, families and all who are in search of additional resources.

Thank you
