	Targeted Investment Neighborhoods TINs TINs sustain and increase owner-occupancy, provide high quality affordable rental housing, strengthen property values, and improve neighborhood physical appearance and quality of life. TINs focus resources for 3 years on a small area, generally 6 to 12 city blocks.
	Healthy Neighborhoods Initiative Working with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, this  initiative focuses on a neighborhood’s positive attributes and works to engage neighbors and homeowners to invest in their neighborhoods and position them as good places to live.
	Tax Incremental Districts TIDs The City of Milwaukee has a limited number of neighborhood-based Tax Incremental Districts, a special financing tool that enables the City to borrow against the growth of tax base in order to create a pool of loan resources.
	Emergency Loan Program    help for homeowners throughout the City NIDC offers assistance to income-eligible owner-occupants throughout the City of Milwaukee. The Homeowners’ Emergency Loan Program (HELP) is available for emergencies that, if not corrected, would make the home uninhabitable. HELP is not available for maintenance, code violations, or other work that is not a true emergency.
	Buy a New or Rehabilitated Home    homeownership opportunities If you are interested in homeownership, NIDC has a number of great homes for sale – both rehabbed and newly constructed.
	Neighborhood Stabilization Programs  NSPs NIDC is working to limit the impact of foreclosed homes in Milwaukee neighborhoods. Go to www.milwaukee housinghelp.org for more information about purchasing a foreclosed home through NSP Home Buyer Assistance, NSP Rental Rehabilitation, or NSP Buy In Your Neighborhood.
	Community Improvement Projects CIPs Matching grants of up to $2,000.00 are available for sustainable projects that physically enhance a neighborhood and increase resident camaraderie.
	Solar PACE Loan Program The PACE Loan program has been suspended due to national Federal Housing Finance Agency guidance.  The Office of Environmental Sustainability is currently exploring an alternative financing mechanism.  Continue to check back frequently for updates. The Milwaukee Shines Solar PACE Loan Program directly addresses the barrier of a high upfront cost of installing energy savings improvements. This revolving loan fund allows homeowners to voluntarily attach 100% of the approved expenses of installing solar energy to their property tax bill. Homeowners can pay on a monthly basis if they have a property tax escrow account with their mortgage lender or through the traditional 10 month installment plan available through the City of Milwaukee Treasurer’s Office.
