Programs/Projects

Blighted Residential Property Demolition Grant Program Application
This program is designed to help property owners remove blighted single family homes to make way for redevelopment opportunities. This program provides assistance to property owners who contract the demolition themselves with the HRA assisting with up to 50% of the project costs (maximum $5,000). Primary consideration will be given to vacant single family dwellings. Grants will also be considered for the demolition of accessory buildings on parcels where it serves an owner-occupied single family dwelling. All work must be completed by a licensed contractor.
