Live in Greater Mondawmin
Healthy Neighborhoods helps strong but undervalued Baltimore neighborhoods increase home values, market their communities, create high standards for property improvements, and forge strong connections among neighbors. As a Healthy Neighborhood, Greater Mondawmin residents and homeowners are eligible for special grants and loans.
Funding Opportunities (as of April 2011)
PURCHASE REHAB LOANS
The purchase and rehab
loan is available for eligible borrowers purchasing a
home on a target block within a Healthy Neighborhood. (Limited Funds Available)
Eligible Borrowers must also use this loan to make improvements to the property in conjunction with the purchase. The loan carries a fixed interest rate that's always 1% below the 60-day Fannie Mae rate but in no event less than 4%. After contributing 3% of the purchase price from their own funds, buyers may borrow the balance of funds needed to buy and renovate the home, as much as 120% of the after-rehabilitation appraisal of the property.
$3000 HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK GRANTS
If you live on a HNI Target Block, your block is eligible to receive up to $3000 to increase its curb appeal. To apply, check the HNI Target Block List to make sure you live on an eligible block (www.healthyneighborhoods.org). Then:
- Talk to homeowners on your block. How can your block increase its curb appeal and home values?
- Inform Dr. Jenkins (GMCC HNI Coordinator) of your plans.
- Submit (to Dr. Jenkins) a one page description explaining: how the project ideas came about, how the project will be completed, who was involved in preparing the proposal (signatures of neighbors who will participate), who will implement the project, when will it be completed, how will neighbors contribute (sweat equity?), project budget (include quotes and estimates), amount requested, and how the items will be maintained over time.
- Your application will be forwarded
to the Healthy Neighborhoods Office for review.
- Once your project is accepted, you will be required to provide periodic updates on your progress, receipts of all approved purchases, photos of project and a final report.
