The City of Salina has been awarded $300,000 through the The Grant Program. This grant will provide a portion of the funding for the City’s Neighborhood Repair and Rehabilitation Program (NRRP), which started in early 2019.
The funding provided by Grant allows NRRP to expand the pool of applicants. Through the Grant program, rental properties may apply for rehabilitation funding, whereas the previous funding only allowed for owner-occupied homes.
The NRRP focuses on a 10-block area (see map below), with State Street to the north, Ninth Street to the east, South Street to the south, and Broadway to the west. The program strives to make improvements to the structural integrity of homes within this area. With these funds the City expects to assist around 12 homes. Applications for Grant through NRRP are expected to begin this spring.

Additional communication will be sent once applications are open.
