The Neighborhood Housing Petition Program enables neighbors in selected areas of Akron to petition the financial assistance to make needed repairs. Neighbors can also petition to receive improved sidewalks, curbs, and streets. The City will make mandatory housing inspections, and pursue enforcement of housing code violations.
Neighbors can commit to an ongoing block watch program for crime prevention.
No new applications for petition areas are being accepted at this time. Please referr to the following for general information about the Neighborhood Housing Petition Program. Only one petition can come from a particular street. The petition area should be 1 to 4 blocks. This is an area of at least two block faces but no more than 8 block faces.
