The City of Sharon is proud to announce a new partnership with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) to launch a comprehensive housing rehabilitation initiative aimed at strengthening neighborhoods and improving housing conditions for residents. The program will focus on rehabilitating owner-occupied homes while also developing a comprehensive neighborhood plan to guide future investment and revitalization efforts throughout the community.
Funding for the initiative represents a significant collaborative investment totaling more than $1.4 million. The City of Sharon will contribute $200,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $400,000 through the Pennsylvania HOME Program. In addition, YNDC has secured $342,000 through the Pennsylvania Neighborhood Assistance Program (PA NAP) and $500,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York to support housing rehabilitation and neighborhood planning efforts.
Together, these resources will allow YNDC to work directly with homeowners to improve housing conditions, preserve existing homes, and support long-term neighborhood stability in Sharon. “This partnership represents a significant investment in the future of our neighborhoods,” said Robert Fiscus, City Manager of Sharon. “By working with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and leveraging multiple funding sources, we are able to provide meaningful support to homeowners while also developing a strategic neighborhood plan that will guide revitalization efforts for years to come.”
YNDC has extensive experience in neighborhood revitalization, housing rehabilitation, and community planning across the region. Through this collaboration, Sharon residents will benefit from both direct home improvements and a broader vision for sustainable neighborhood development.
