KINGSTON- The City of Kingston will launch a Residential Rehabilitation Program to provide grants of up to $40,000 to income-eligible owners of residential properties in the Uptown Stockade Business District.
The Residential Rehabilitation Program will assist eligible residential property owners in making minor to substantial repairs to resolve building code violations, address health and safety hazards, and make necessary structural improvements. The eligible area is bounded by the Esopus Creek and Route I-587 to the north and east, St. James Street to the south, and Washington Avenue and Dietz Stadium to the west.
“I’m proud that a portion of Kingston’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative funds will be used to address housing issues in the Stockade Business district,” said Mayor Noble. “I encourage eligible property owners that need to perform necessary rehabilitation activities, especially those that will resolve health and safety hazards, to apply for this grant program.”
The deadline to apply is September 6, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. For more information, including qualifications, how to calculate project cost, grant amount request, and match amount, please visit www.engagekingston.com/dri-
