Housing
The housing priority area seeks to help current renters, landlords and homeowners, and attract new ones in Garfield Park. The GPCC offers technical assistance and phone counseling and facilitates the Micro Market Recovery Program (MMRP) in West Garfield Park. Through the MMRP, the GPCC seeks to revitalize the housing market by working with churches, community groups, non-profit and for-profit developers to reoccupy abandoned and vacant homes.
