In the European Commission currently there are several Directorates General (DG) that deal with issues and have programmes that may concern aspects of neighbourhood regeneration. There are a number of sectoral programmes that may be partly relevant to the issues of regeneration, depending on the set of key problems. The most relevant are Community initiatives URBAN (which is basically handled at the national level and hence cannot help you directly) and INTERREG at DG Regio financed through Structural Funds, namely European Regional Development Fund and Fifth Framework Programme for Research, at DG Research (http://www.europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp5.html).
