The Block by Block program is a matching grant home repair program for homeowners who live in the Cain Park and Cedar Lee neighborhoods.

FutureHeights, Inc. is taking a strategic approach to neighborhood revitalization including the rehabilitation of existing homes as well as partnering with a local firm—Rebuild Cleveland, LLC—on the most significant infill housing program in the City’s history.

These efforts are currently underway in a specific Focus Area of the City, depicted on the map above and generally defined as the residential streets between Cedar Road (to the South), Lee Road (to the West), Mayfield Road (to the North), and South Taylor Road (to the East).

The Block by Block Grant Program builds upon the effort underway by catalyzing investments by qualifying individual property owners with the goal of maximizing the positive impacts of the overall revitalization effort. The Block by Block Grant Program is a matching grant of up to $3,000 for qualifying homeowners residing in the Focus Area that are interested in completing an exterior repair or enhancement of their home.

Our community’s charming residential neighborhoods are one of our greatest assets and preserving the distinct character and architectural features of historic homes throughout these neighborhoods is central to FutureHeights, Inc.’s mission.

Through the Block by Block Grant Program, we are eager to forge a connection with the neighborhood and partner with homeowners on revitalization efforts. We know that our community is strongest when we work together and we are confident that partnering with homeowners throughout the neighborhood will create positive, lasting impacts.

If you are a homeowner in the Focus Area, meet the income eligibility criteria, and have a project you’d like to pursue, we invite you to apply by emailing the application to Lee Chilcote at lchilcote@futureheights.org. Questions? Call 216/320-1423.
