Community Grant Programs
The City has developed two community grant programs intended to enhance and foster neighborhood collaboration and community engagement. These programs help reduce code violations and spur additional private investment within the neighborhood through the support of resident-led projects. Both programs pursue the City’s goal to increase communication among neighbors, build neighborhood identity and civic pride, and to bring neighborhoods together. This is consistent with the City’s vision. Neighborhoods matter after all.
