Neighborhood Improvement District (NID)
Initiated by the Harambee Great Neighborhood Initiative (HGNI) and established by residents in 2016, the Harambee Neighborhood Improvement District is a quasi-governmental entity run by a board of elected residents and property owners. The NID contracts with Riverworks Development Corporation in order to adminster it's day to day operations.
The NID assesses $50 per unit per year* to the property taxes of all residential properties within the boundaries of the NID, and pools that money to fund a home repair grant. This grant is eligible to all property owners within the boundaries, but prioritizes owner-occupants with demonstrated need.The goal of the program is to provide much needed home repair resources to neighbors, and provide home repair jobs to underemployed residents.
*Some exceptions apply. See NID Operating Plan for precise assessment methodolgy
