Grantee City

With over 200 vacant structures throughout the City of Lansing, blight and a lack of public gathering spaces are shared public challenges. Building upon its rich tradition of neighborhood leadership, Lansing truly believes in the idea that challenges like these are best addressed in partnership with citizens. Lansing is one of six cities taking part in the Love Your Block program. Through this program, the city is engaging with citizens to revitalize vacant lots and create positive public spaces. These efforts are making Lansing's communities more vibrant places in which to live.

Lansing has been a member of the Cities of Service coalition since 2015, when Mayor Virg Bernero signed the Declaration of Service.
