About the funding
Eligible property owners can receive grants on a cost-sharing basis with The City providing funding for up to 50% of the total approved conservation project cost.
The total maximum grant funding available for a residential heritage resource is $125,000 over a 15-year period, with applicants eligible to apply once every five years. Residential heritage resources include structures that were originally constructed for residential use and were designed with no more than two dwelling units. This includes one or two-family buildings (i.e. single-family, semi-detached and duplex homes). Residential sites do not include historic multi-residential or mixed-use buildings.
The total maximum grant funding available for a non-residential heritage resource is $1,000,000 over a 15-year period, with applicants eligible to apply once every five years. Non-residential heritage resources include, but are not limited to, commercial, industrial, religious, mixed-use and institutional buildings, and multi-residential buildings with more than two dwelling units.
In general, grant funds are intended for the restoration, preservation and rehabilitation of regulated historic elements of a heritage resource, as well as any work required to prevent damage to a building’s structural integrity or deterioration of its regulated historic elements.
