TAX INCREMENT FINANCE-NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIF-NIP) PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Tax Increment Finance-Neighborhood Improvement Program (TIF-NIP) is a Department of Planning and Development administered program that has been providing home repair grants since 1999. When a TIF NIP district becomes open to accept applications, a notification of a Public Meeting will be mailed out to all eligible residential addresses located within the district to inform them of the open enrollment process.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The TIF-NIP program provides home repair grants for owner occupied, single-family residences (one to four units) within selected TIF districts only. The grants are primarily for exterior repairs. Up to 30% of the grant may be used for interior repairs that are health and safety related, however, this percentage can be waived if the homeowner undertakes the City's allowable Energy Efficient Measures (EEM) that will assist the homeowner with cost savings up to 30% on their utility bills. Grant amounts are based on the number of units per residence. Commercial and Mix-Use (Commercial and residential) properties are not eligible for this program.
***Please note: The City's Department of Revenue must verify that your water bill, any parking tickets, and any other debts have been paid in order for you to receive a grant and participate in the program. Also, if you have received service in the past under the program, you will not be eligible to participate again. The TIF NIP Program assists with servicing a residential property one-time only***
Please contact Julio Soriano with any questions at 312-744-7090.
