In May 2024, Allentown was one of 16 cities awarded $100,000 to participate in the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation’s Love Your Block grant program. Love Your Block funds resident-led neighborhood revitalization projects in U.S. cities. From transforming vacant lots into community gardens to repairing playground equipment to removing trash and debris from a public right of way, the program supports cities as it enables residents to design, develop, and deliver programs and policies that improve communities.

Our current grant period is closed. Stay tuned for information about the 2027 cycle.
