FAÇADE PROGRAM
In 2023, the City selected NNRHA to facilitate their Marshall-Ridley Residen� al
Façade program. The program was ini�ated with $2.1 million in funding from theCity
and is available to property owners in the CNI area. It provides financial support –
in the form of a grant – for homeowners to make exterior improvements to their
property. The maximum grant amount is $20,000 and is secured by a deed
restric�on for five (5) years. To date, the program has assisted 53 property owners in
the CNI community with exterior improvements.

residents. On average, the City’s alloca�on of CDBG funds is $1.3 million. 15% is
allocated to non-profit organiza� ons who have ini�a�ves targe�ng seniors, youth,
vic�ms of domes�c violence and homelessness. CDBG funds are used to demolish
unsafe, blighted structures throughout the southeast community. Property owners
have also benefited from our residen�al repair program where both interior and
exterior improvements can be performed up to $25,000. Most of the ac� vi�

SUMMARY
The southeast community remains an important area to the City of Newport News.
Ongoing investments of federal, state, local and private resources are directed
toward improving the quality of life for those who call the southeast community
“home.” In spite of the notable improvements over the last few years, there is s� ll
more work to be done. Thus, con� nuing the NRSA designa�on of this part of the City
will help facilitate ongoing improvements.
