Projects can include painting, wood window repair or replacement, wood siding or replacement, roofing, or other miscellaneous exterior repairs.

Individual properties are eligible for up $10,000 in funding. Applications can be found at the following link and are due by Friday, May 26, and can be emailed to hpreview@cedar-rapids.org or mailed to:
