The Center for Community Progress works to ensure that communities have the vision, knowledge, and systems to transform blighted, vacant, and other problem properties into assets supporting neighborhood vitality. As a national leader on solutions for blight and vacancy, the Center for Community Progress serves as the leading resource for local, state and federal policy makers and source for best practices that address the full cycles of property revitalization, from blight prevention, though the acquisition and maintenance of problem properties, to their productive reuse. This grant provided funds for CCP’s September 2016 Reclaiming Vacant Properties conference to be held in Baltimore.
