Program Purpose
The purpose of the Grand Prairie Housing Rehabilitation Program is to prevent deterioration, slums, and blighting influences in a community through the revitalization and conservation of the existing housing stock. The program seeks to preserve and restore stable, viable, and environmentally pleasing neighborhoods within the city. In doing so, families of low and moderate income will be assisted in securing decent housing, and the burdens placed on a city because urban deterioration can be averted.
