What is an NPP Materials Grant?

NPP Material Grants will allow a residential property owner who occupies their property to be reimbursed (up to $1,000.00) for the cost of material used to rehabilitate the façade street-front facing elements of a residential property for repairs visible to the street. Material Grants are to be used for the repair and restoration of existing architectural elements and NOT for the additions of said elements.
