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.
