BUDGET OVERVIEW

 Neighborhood Services coordinated a tree trimming service for residents who meet the
eligibility criteria. This service provides trimming of trees that are hanging low over the
right of way or sidewalk. Keep NRH Beautiful donation funds in the amount of $5,000
are being used to fund this program.

 Last year, six residents took advantage of the Home Improvement Rebate program to
make exterior repairs to their homes. To date, in FY 2017/2018 seven residents have
received rebates totaling $13,499.

 The Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) continues to be a great success in the
first target area; which encompasses the area south of NE Loop 820, East of Rufe
Snow and North of Glenview. Twenty participants have gone through the program, and
the projects completed have increased value in the area by $1,887,152. The average
purchase price of a pre-renovated home in the program is $103,137, and the ending
