$5,000 Grant Program Attracts New Home Buyers
Shanelle Myles had been looking for a home in Belair-Edison for some time. When she found the perfect home that had everything she wanted – including an open kitchen, hardwood floors downstairs and wall-to-wall carpet upstairs – she was “thrilled” to learn about the down payment grant program that she could use towards the purchase of her new home on Erdman Avenue.
The Buy In Belair-Edison incentive program was created by Belair-Edison Neighborhoods, Inc. (BENI) with funding from the Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative program, as a way to attract new home buyers to the community and help drive investment to targeted blocks. These home purchase grants are offered at a $5,000 ad $2,000 level.
