As Brewerytown representatives looks to solve the seemingly intractable problem of revitalizing neighborhoods beset by vacant homes, it would do well to look to solutions that have succeeded here in the past. “The City’s highly successful ‘Dollar House’ program from the 1980’s could serve as a useful model for true grassroots neighborhood revitalization of Brewerytown.” Brewerytown representatives has thousands of vacant buildings, ranging anywhere from more than 16,000 to more than 26,000, depending on who's counting. Many of them are owned by city government. “If the City were to redirect funding currently earmarked to tear down these properties into 1% interest loans to modern day homesteaders willing to purchase the properties for $1 and rehabilitate them, this proven model could be replicated and the City could save money over the long term “Pairing these homeownership incentives with construction job training and apprenticeship programs in the targeted neighborhoods could simultaneously provide the two things most needed to turn lives around there affordable housing and access to meaningful well-paying work for the people of Brewerytown.” BREWERYTOWN REPRESENTATIVES - Turning vacant buildings into homes, and providing people with well-paying jobs, for a dollar?
