RISE Neighborhoods

Coordinated neighborhood investment

Along with our work in all neighborhoods, the Land Bank leads coordinated investments in key places. RISE means Rebuild, Invest, Stabilize, and Engage. Together, we can make a lasting place-based difference with RISE Neighborhoods.

How it works

RISE focuses on a Lucas County neighborhood comprehensively. RISE works to:

• Help steady the real estate market and maintain property values

• Build on resident-led efforts to improve neighborhood quality of life

• Encourage a sense of place and community

RISE works to improve the real estate market. Investments help maintain and raise property values before and after improvements. Homeowners and businesses can take advantage of repair help. Both groups can receive financing and incentives, too.

Collaboration is key to RISE's success. RISE partners with neighborhood organizations on place-making initiatives to create neighborhood spaces where residents feel proud and safe.
