BACKGROUND:
One of the statutory functions of a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is to undertake activities that facilitate the redevelopment and improvement of properties. Incentive programs encouraging private investment in properties have proven successful in carrying out this redevelopment function.
The CRA residential grant programs encourage homeowners to make improvements that enhance the CRA, increase safety, and reverse deteriorating trends in specific neighborhoods. Preserving and expanding the supply of appropriately maintained housing is crucial in improving affordability while reducing conditions of blight.
Each property owner can submit one application per fiscal year. The maximum grant that can be awarded is $20,000, covering up to 75 percent of the project costs. Refer to the attached grant framework for a list of eligible improvements.
