Sustainable Neighborhoods

Possible forms of assistance include:

  • Labor for property rehabilitation
  • Financial sponsorship for property rehabilitation or homebuyer assistance
  • Technical or professional assistance for:
    • property rehabilitation
    • property inspection and assessment
    • real estate transactions
    • mortgage loan facilitation

If you live in a core neighborhood, encourage your neighborhood organization to work with us to reach potential home buyers.

If you are an employer, let us know of people who want to purchase homes in core neighborhoods.

We will work with the City of Ames and local housing organizations to take advantage of existing programs and help match buyers to homes in core neighborhoods.
