I believe that your facts are off base. Call NRP - they're quite responsive. HPDL received such a letter mandating that 70% of funds be used for housing. I'm not sure whether this was 'affordable housing' or 'housing initiatives' off hand. It's worth mentioning that money eventually coming back to the neighborhood orgnaization in the form of loan repayments can then be recycled for other neighborhood initiatives.
