Requirements / About Rock the Block

ABOUT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Habitat for Humanity Peninsula & Greater Williamsburg is a nonprofit organization which builds, renovates and repairs houses for local families in need.

ABOUT ROCK THE BLOCK

Rock the Block (RTB) is a matching grant program, which assists homeowners, renters and landlords with residences in Hampton, VA to make exterior improvements to the outside of their homes for minimal cost. All Rock the Block projects will be exterior/outside work and must be visible from the street/curb (e.g., no grant funding available for work performed inside a backyard fence.)

  • Projects will only be performed in the Fordham neighborhood for short-term curb appeal projects that can be completed within 6 months.

    o Homeowner match required: 10%; Renter/Investor match required: 50%
  • Rock the Block grant money is available to all single-family and duplex residential property owners and renters, regardless of income. Renters must have written permission from their landlord submitted with the application.

Homes are purchased with a zero-interest equivalent, 20 to 30-year mortgage. Mortgage payments will be no more than 30% of buyer’s income, and it includes real estate taxes and homeowner’s insurance.
