The City of Euclid has partnered with CHN Housing Capital to administer grant awards of up to $7,500 to eligible homeowners in Euclid’s Heritage Park neighborhood. This grant money can be used by owner-occupants of single or two-family homes in the neighborhood to make street visible home beautification repairs such as paint and siding repair, porch repair, tuck-pointing, window and door replacement, foundation repair, driveway repair, exterior lighting repair and more. There are no income restrictions to receive this grant money, but homeowners must be current on their property taxes or on an active payment plan to be considered. Funds are limited and must be spent by the end of 2023.

   The Heritage Park Home Repair Grant Program will invest at least $270,000 into the housing stock in the Heritage Park neighborhood. The Program was created by the City of Euclid using $100,000.00 in available funding from City American Rescue Plan Act monies and $200,000 in funding from Cuyahoga County’s ARPA Allocation. Euclid received over $25 million in ARPA funds and reserved over $500,000.00 for Housing and Community Development activities, $100,000.00 of which will be administered directly to eligible Heritage Park homeowners via this grant program.

   Euclid’s Heritage Park neighborhood boundaries are Euclid Avenue to the south, and the railroad tracks to the north, the border with Cleveland to the west, and East 219^th Street to the east. The neighborhood is primarily made up of medium-sized (three or four-bedroom) to small (studio to two-bedroom) single-family and two-family homes built between the 1920s and the 1940s. Euclid has been focused on making investments in the Heritage Park neighborhood, including the improvements to the neighborhood park on East 193^rd Street, renovating the Euclid Avenue Mini-Station, and repaving Euclid Avenue.

   “We are excited to offer this pilot program to help Heritage Park residents improve their homes and stabilize the local housing market,” said Euclid Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail. “I can’t wait to see the positive impact in the neighborhood!”
