Prairie Village $5,000 Exterior Remodel Grant

08 Mar Prairie Village $5,000 Exterior Remodel Grant

If you live in Prairie Village and own your home, you may be eligible for a $5,000 grant from the city. Grants are not loans; the grantor pays them. Maintaining a positive image is essential to the city of Prairie Village. The appearance of a neighborhood plays a vital role in the perception of the quality of the community – we understand that and couldn’t agree more. The city wants to encourage homeowners to invest in their properties by making attractive improvements on building exteriors, including siding repair and exterior repainting. The improved appearance of homes makes neighborhoods more beautiful and contributes to the enhanced viability of the entire area and the community.

If you’re considering this program, we want to help. There’s a $20 application fee, and we’ll pay it FOR YOU if you sign up. The 2015 program has been so popular that there’s already a waiting list, but we will still pony up your application fee. While you’re at it, contact us for a free color consultation. Only certain areas of the Prairie Village community qualify for the grant. Please use the link to see if you qualify.

Eligibility Requirements

• The property must be located in one of the designated program areas.
