UTICA, N.Y. — Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri — in partnership with the HomeOwnershipCenter — has announced the implementation of a residential-rehabilitation program, which is part of the Utica Prosperity Initiative.
The $2 million of funding will cover up to $25,000 of eligible exterior housing-rehabilitation costs for landlords and homeowners who live in “financially distressed” districts and were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Residential rehabilitation is vital to community development and has ancillary benefits,” Palmieri said in a statement. “When a resident improves the condition of their home, it improve the entire block and neighborhood. We want to do everything possible to encourage home improvements, and I commend the HomeOwnershipCenter for helping to develop this important program.”
