NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Preservation Buffalo Niagara shared details on Wednesday regarding a new improvement program they are offering for Niagara Falls property owners.
The 'Vacant Rental Improvement Program' will help cover the expenses for renovating vacant apartments in Niagara Falls.
Priority will be given to applicants with the 14301 and 14305 zip codes, but all of those within Niagara Falls can apply, Preservation Buffalo Niagara said.
The program is available for residential and mixed use properties that have five units or less. The hope is that the program will help put vacant residential units back in service.
Grant funding of up to $50,000 is available if the completed unit will serve tenants under 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) and up to $75,000 if the unit will be rented to tenants under 60% AMI.
Property owners have until May 20 at 5 p.m. to apply and can click here for the form. Paper applications can be provided if needed by emailing VRP@pbnsaves.org.
