Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen Enter Housing Revitalization Initiative with the NAACP

The City of Vicksburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to partner with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for a Housing Revitalization Initiative. The Board allotted $300,000 of ARPA funding to revitalize homes within the City of Vicksburg.

This funding will be used to refurbish homes that are in disrepair, repair roofs, beautification, and other enhancements to inspire residents to stay in their communities, rebuild them, maintain them, and attract new businesses to the area.

The City set eligibility requirements for applicants that wish to apply for the grant. Once an applicant is determined eligible, the NAACP will have sole discretion to determine which properties are refurbished.
