Fix-Up Grants & Housing Programs


 

The EXTERIOR FIX UP GRANT PROGRAM IS BACK!!

Thinking about fixing up the exterior of your home?
Want some financial help doing the repairs?

The North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC)
and the Point Douglas Residents’ Committee (PDRC) are pleased to offer
resident homeowners and landlords the opportunity to fix up their properties! The purpose of this program is to help improve the exterior quality, safety, longevity and appearance of homes.

Grant recipients are selected by “lottery” with first-time applicants receiving first priority. Grants can be used for a number of exterior renovations or repairs, which include (but are not limited to) windows, walkways, steps, porches or verandas, roofs, siding, painting, fences, eaves troughs, garages, and exterior lighting.

 Landlords are also eligible for a grant. The grant helps a landlord with larger projects that improve the safety or appearance of their rental property.
RENTERS, be sure your landlord has received an application and tell them to apply! 

 Applications and criteria forms can be picked up at NECRC at 509 Selkirk Ave or at the Women's Centre at 221 Austin St. 

Applications must be submitted to NECRC, 509 Selkirk Ave by

4:00PM on Friday, May 17, 2010.

 **If you did not receive an application form in this edition of The Point newsletter or have other questions call Dale at 927-2343.

Please note that South Point Douglas properties are NOT eligible for the Exterior Fix Up Grant Program.
