Canton puts $200,000 toward home improvement programs

KEY ACTION City Council on Monday unanimously granted $200,000 to the Community Building Partnership for the continuation of neighborhood revitalization programs. 
DISCUSSION It's an increase from the $150,000 grant awarded last year. The money has and will come from the city's Issue 13 tax revenue for neighborhoods.
"No money goes to administration overhead," Mayor Thomas Bernabei said.
With the money, the Community Building Partnership (CBP) offers a 10% rebate for qualifying exterior home improvements and works with the city Building Department to assist low-income households with exterior code violations by contracting with Project Rebuild.
"There's been a great response," Maureen Austin, CBP's executive director, said after the meeting.
