Rehab Right - Design Assistance#
Do you have work to do on your historic building but are not sure where to start? The Design Assistance Program (DAP) is here to help! DAP was created in 2011 by City Council to as a financial support program to help historic property owners ensure alterations to historic buildings are compatible with surrounding historic character. Design Assistance Program mini grants can help with a wide range of design and planning costs associated with historic building projects. Some examples include:
- Evaluating your historic windows for weatherization upgrades and repairs.
- Determining appropriate new mortar mixtures to repoint your historic masonry.
- Determining if an addition or exterior modification to your property is feasible and will meet historic design requirements.
- And more!
After consulting with Staff about project eligibility and submitting an application, Historic Preservation Services staff will connect you with a qualified local consultant who can address the design or planning needs of your project. Staff and the consultant will ensure the product or guidance you receive meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
