Program details

How it works

HARBOR is a City of Cincinnati program that fills gaps for homeowners unable to fund necessary repairs or who do not qualify for other existing programs. The Buildings and Inspections Department manages it and uses PWC as a clearinghouse to help residents resolve city-cited code violations.

What the money covers

The public page does not give a dollar maximum or a detailed item-by-item repair list. It says the program provides grant dollars to help residents resolve code violations cited by the city.

How to apply

The page says participants must be referred by a City of Cincinnati Building Inspector.

Timing and deadlines

The City’s program list says the program is open on an ongoing basis.
