Details:
The Love Your Block (LYB) initiative is a grant program that funds resident-led neighborhood revitalization projects in U.S. cities. From transforming vacant lots into community gardens and repairing playground equipment, to removing trash and debris from a public right of way, the program supports cities as it enables residents to design, develop, and deliver programs and projects that improve communities.
Love Your Block will focus on areas of the City that have struggled with financial insecurity, giving residents the opportunity to design, implement, and lead projects that directly benefit their communities.
