NIDC Block Stabilization Program
When neighborhoods are hit with foreclosures, visible improvements to nearby homes can help keep up a block's appearance. The City's partnership through small matching grants to homeowners is one way to make a difference.
If you have two or more vacant and/or boarded foreclosed homes on your block, you may be eligible for a $500.00 matching grant to do exterior improvements to your home. The improvements must be visible from the curb and restrictions apply. (Click here for program brochure and application.)
