What We Do
This program returns dilapidated properties back to productive use and has become a model for housing stabilization in a first-ring suburb. This year, seven houses and vacant lots were sold providing $88,845 we could invest in the community.
We offer grants to residents and businesses to help improve residential and commercial properties and increase community engagement. Since 2016, more than $600,000 has been invested in South Euclid. Each year, grants are available for
-
Storefront renovations in partnership with the City of South Euclid
-
Exterior home repair projects that act as a catalyst for neighborhood improvement and investment in the city.
-
Senior landscaping services that help our senior residents age in place
-
Mini grants that bring people together and beautify our community.
We host and promote community events to strengthen community bonds, and attract new visitors by showing off what makes South Euclid a diverse and thriving community.
A strategic priority of One South Euclid is enhancing the downtown Mayfield-Green district. Legislation introduced in 2021 led to rezoning that expands and supports the growth of new and existing businesses and increases the accessibility to downtown South Euclid.
