Neighborhood grants workshop

Neighborhood grants workshop

Lewisville Neighborhood Services invites residents to learn about home repair resources and grant opportunities during a free workshop on Tuesday, June 17, 6:30 p.m., at Gene Carey Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, 995 E. Valley Ridge Boulevard.

The City of Lewisville provides funding for homeowner repairs through the Property Enhancement Program, Love Your Block, and Neighborhood Enhancement Program. Attendees will learn about the grant process, get instructions on how to apply, and learn about other countywide resources.

The Property Enhancement Program is a financial grant-rebate program for Lewisville residents to assist with exterior home repairs. Eligible applicants and projects may be approved for a 50 percent matching grant-rebate, up to a maximum dollar amount.

Love Your Block is a $500 reimbursable mini grant that aims to build community within a specific neighborhood. This grant can be used for neighborhood parties, meeting space rentals, vacant lot clean up, little libraries, or planting in a neighborhood shared space. Applications are open year-round.

Neighborhood Enhancement Program is a matching grant up to $12,500 to neighborhood groups wanting to beautify their neighborhood. This grant can be used to build entryway features, buy sign toppers, create a Neighborhood Emergency Response Team, or improve a neighborhood park.

To learn more about all these grant opportunities, please visit the Neighborhood Vitality page.
