The City of Buffalo/ Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency’s Target Rehab Program offers income eligible homeowners full or partial conditional grants and no interest loans in order to make needed repairs in their home.
An eligible home must be located on a Target Street as designated by the City of Buffalo/ Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency (please see list below.) HOCN is able to assist homeowners with application intake if their home is located in the Fruit Belt, West Side, Upper West Side, Lower West Side, Elmwood-Bidwell, Elmwood-Bryant, Allentown, MLK Park and Pratt-Willert Planning Neighborhoods with applications. If you live in a different neighborhood, please contact our office to be referred to the organization that can assist you.
Repairs may include any code related repairs or lead based paint hazard reduction activities. This could include repairing or replacing deficient roofing, siding, porches, steps, electrical service, heating systems, hot water tanks, windows and more. Cosmetic upgrades are not eligible under this program. Please note that funding is limited and can only assist with minor repairs, not full unit or major renovations.

Spaces are limited and applications are accepted by Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency on a first-come, first-served basis, as funding is available. Applicants will be required to submit supporting documentation to verify eligibility for the program.
If you have a double family home and your secondary unit is occupied, the tenant household will be required to have their annual, gross household income and asset value fall below the required income limits defined by HUD, provide all required documentation, and complete an application for assistance. Vacant rental units that will not be rented to low-moderate income household post-rehab are not eligible for assistance. Please contact our office for more information.
Interested applicants may speak with our staff to be pre-screened for eligibility and sent an Intake Packet including the program’s full documentation checklist. Please contact our office at (716) 882-7661 or by email.
