Homeowner Renovation Program
This program provides matching grants that cover maintenance and improvements, including large-scale renovation.
Turn your old home into your dream home!
For a number of reasons, many once-grand houses in Des Moines have become neglected, run-down and a blight on their neighborhood. But the high cost of restoring them to their prior glory is not economically viable.
This is where the Invest DSM Homeowner Renovation Program comes in. The program provides financing that allows developers to restore approved properties to a level of quality and livability that would not otherwise be financially viable. The net result is the transformation of a run-down property to a high-end home for the new owner.
About the Program
If you own and occupy a home in one of the Invest DSM Special Investment Districts, you may be eligible for a grant to help finance your renovation. If you are approved for the the grant, it could cover between 20% and 50% of your costs, up to a total grant of $75,000.
What this Means to You
The Invest DSM grant can be a game changer in terms of financing your renovation. And as an extra bonus, your renovation may also qualify for the City of Des Moines’ Tax Abatement Program.
