 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 (2011 deadline to be
