Beautiful Blocks
Our Beautiful Blocks program provides matching grants of up to $1,000 per property to groups of 5 or more residents in participating communities to help them make exterior improvements to their homes. Grants are awarded annually through a competitive application process.
Beautiful Blocks is closed for applications in our 2025 cycle for the City of Scranton, the City of Carbondale and the City of Pittston. We anticipate opening applications for our next program cycle early in the 2026 calendar year.
For questions or more information, or to be added to our list of prospective applicants for 2026, please contact Gerard Hetman at 570-558-2490 or ghetman@nwnepa.org.
