The FCDP is fully dedicated to neighborhood stabilization and revitalization activities.  The FCDP targets specific Fairmont locations for its intervention activities; so resources can be concentrated for maximum impact over a relatively short time span.   

The FCDP’s current Maple/Ogden/Jackson Addition Service Area was selected because it is a low income area with an elderly population.  This has been a neighborhood where need was serious, but featured many innate assets and a substantial future.

The impact of the revitalization on neighborhood appearances and moral are immeasurable and often described as “huge” and “unbelievable”.

In earlier initiatives, some of the most dilapidated and unsafe properties were removed.   The spaces created are used for density reduction or for new home construction. 

The remaining abandoned buildings are being acquired and torn down, or rehabilitated.  Quality homes are built for families with modest to mid-range incomes. 

All properties and structures in the target area have been mapped and classified for work considered necessary. The Partnership has researched property ownership records and estimated costs for acquisition, rehabilitation, and demolition work.

Project phases are scaled to be commensurate with resources available for a house-by-house / block-by-block approach.

Quality workmanship is assured for both new home and rehabilitation work.  Compliance with all applicable code and construction standards is closely monitored.  Eligible home owners are assisted with planning and acquiring loans for home remodeling.

Neighborhood residents and property owners involvement is encouraged so they can have meaningful impact on project in the area where they live.
