New Homeowner Assistance

Participants purchasing a home in a Davenport DREAM Project neighborhood will be eligible for a grant of approximately $20,000, forgiven over five years. The property must be owner-occupied during this period. The grant can be used for any improvements made to the property. City funds will assist with needed exterior improvements first, and then remaining funds can be used towards interior improvements. Applications will be accepted on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis.
