Home-owner-occupants in the designated Sherman Park Neighborhood Improvement District (NID) area are eligible for up to $5,000 in home improvement assistance. The Sherman Park Community Association administers the grants for the NID. The NID provides modest grants homeowners of single family homes and duplexes in the NID Area (e.g. $500 – $5,000 each) to make the following improvements to their properties: energy efficiency improvements, repairs to increase water efficiency, repairs to the structural condition of the property (including roof repairs), safety improvements (including lighting and garages) and repairs to increase the curb appeal of property (“Improvements”).
Neighborhood Improvement Project (NIP)
Sherman park residents are encouraged to apply for the Neighborhood Improvement Project (NIP). The NIP assists eligible owner occupants in repairing their homes. All repairs are based upon municipal building code violations, lead hazard reduction, health, and safety concerns. NIP is not a remodeling program. To be considered for the NIP program, homeowners can complete the NIP pre-screening to find out if they may be eligible by clicking the following button:

SPCA will also assist residents with their applications to the TIN programs. The goal of the program is to support and encourage homeowners and responsible landlords to improve the safety and appearance of the neighborhood.
