Homefront Beautification Program (NHBP)
The Newtown Homefront Beautification Program (NHBP) is a community-driven effort to enhance the exterior appearance of single-family homes within the Newtown Community Redevelopment Area. With a total fund of $100,000, the NHBP aims to support up to 25 households with grants of up to $4,000 each—and potentially assist more if projects require less funding.
What We Fund
Exterior House Painting
Choose from an approved color palette or keep your current house color. Includes pressure washing and minor wood repair.
Decorative Solar Light Post
Receive a Gama Sonic Imperial III Solar Lantern with a 78″ stand—or a similar model approved by City staff.

Be a resident of a single-family home in the Newtown CRA.
