GrantWatch ID #159643

Grant Description

Grants to USA and territories city, county, township, and special district governments to renovate traditional or historic Main Street areas or business districts. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended for small communities with populations of 50,000 or less.

The HOPE VI Main Street Program provides grants to communities smaller than 50,000 in population to assist in the renovation of a historic, traditional central business district, or “Main Street” area by replacing unused, obsolete, commercial space in buildings with affordable housing units. The obsolete building space property may be publicly or privately owned. Eligible applicants are county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. The local government whose jurisdiction includes the Main Street area is the only entity that is eligible to receive an award. 

The objectives of the program are to:

  • Redevelop central business districts (Main Street areas);
  • Preserve historic or traditional Main Street area properties by replacing unused commercial space in buildings with affordable housing units;
  • Enhance economic development efforts in Main Street areas; and
  • Provide affordable housing in Main Street areas.

Main Street Grant funds may be expended on the following activities:

  1. Reconfiguration of commercial property, major rehabilitation of units that are not currently habitable or new construction to provide affordable rental or homeownership housing located within the Main Street Area.
  2. Acquisition of land or property for the purpose of developing, reconfiguring, or rehabilitating commercial space or non-habitable housing units into affordable housing in the Project.
  3. Long-term lease or transfer of Project title specifically for the purposes of obtaining tax credits or implementation of extended use restrictions, provided that the recipient owner entity of the title or lease includes the applicant.
  4. Architectural or engineering activities, surveys, permits, and other planning and implementation costs related to the construction and rehabilitation of the Project.
  5. Tax credit syndication activities.
  6. Costs arising from the relocation of persons as a direct result of acquisition, demolition, or rehabilitation of real property for the Project.
  7. Manage improvements necessary for the proper development and management of the Project.
  8. Leveraging non-HOPE VI funds and in-kind services.
  9. Community and Supportive Services.
  10. Costs connected with the sale of homeownership (marketing, sales commissions) housing units within the Project.
  11. Section 3 activities delineated in the Section 3 Final Rule.
