The Vacant Building Program (VBP) was created with the goal to address the root causes of vacancy, increase public safety, and encourage economic development by spurring owners of vacant buildings to bring their properties back into productive use. Vacant and unoccupied buildings can be health and safety hazards that diminish the quality of life of a neighborhood and reduce surrounding property values.

Vacant Building Case Managers work with owners and community to convert vacant spaces into vibrant places.
