Rapid Reset Exterior Clean Up Program
The Erie County Land Bank, as part of its blight prevention efforts, has dedicated funding to arrange one-time exterior cleanups of home properties in need.
To Qualify:
- Home must be owner-occupied (no commercial buildings or rentals)
- Home must be located in a land bank-participating municipality and school district
- Homeowner is unable to perform or afford the initial work due to either a permanent situation (such as age or chronic medical condition) or a temporary situation (such as a family emergency or acute medical condition)
- A plan for maintaining the property after the Reset must be in place
To Apply:
- Code Enforcement Officers or other designated municipal official can click the orange button below to submit an application. (Homeowners may not submit applications.)
- Applications should demonstrate homeowner need and include a practible post-Reset plan.
How it works:
- A municipal official identifies a property/homeowner in need, checks with the homeowner to make sure they’re interested, and fills out the application on the ECLB website.
- If the application is selected, the ECLB reaches out to the homeowner to view the property and discuss the property issues. The ECLB makes sure the homeowner has a plan in place for the upkeep of their property following a potential Reset.
- If the project is determined to be viable, the ECLB makes arrangements with landscapers to address the identified issues.
- Once the property has been reset, the homeowner follows through with the upkeep plan.
At this time, the program is strictly for clean up and does not include repairs.
Please note that this is a blight prevention program, so seriously deteriorated homes do not qualify for a Rapid Reset.
Municipal officials with questions may reach out to the ECLB through phone, email, or our contact form. Homeowners interested in the program should reach out to their municipal office, not to the ECLB.
