  1. Joe, the isaiah 61 agreement has the following requirements: 1. must be rehabilitated in x months 2. must be sold to a homebuyer instead of rented. 3. Actual sale one house at a time. We are starting something new, and I expect us to expand the approach soon to the private sector. Keep in mind that Isaiah 61 is a nonprofit, but it pays taxes. We just want to make sure it works, and these first houses are the testing ground. Thanks for your input.

    if $200,000 could be seen as saved why does’t the city make the same offer to private contractors?

    Niagara Falls (A City In A Park) is rebuilding – one house at a time.
