Target Populations
Project Description
The Commercial Acquisition Fund (Fund) aims to invest in communities that have historically been economically disadvantaged and improve long-term economic outcomes. The Fund will focus on providing capital to community-based partners (grantees) with the history, experience, and commitment to equitable economic development to enable acquisition of vacant or abandoned commercial parcels. ARPA funds will only be utilized to acquire properties. After acquisition, the community-based partners will rehabilitate the vacant commercial properties and transition them into affordable commercial spaces for local small businesses most impacted by the pandemic based on the COVID-19 vulnerability and recovery index in the Equity Explorer Tool. All activities past acquisition of the land will be funded through separate means. Definition: Vacant or abandoned properties are generally those that have been unoccupied for an extended period of time or have no active owner. An extended period of time for these purposes is two years or more. Such properties include both vacant land and properties with vacant structures on the land. Such properties may be in significant disrepair (e.g., major structural defects; lack of weather tight conditions; or lack of useable plumbing, kitchen facilities, electricity, or heating infrastructure (not to include utilities currently out of service or disconnected but able to be reconnected and used) or may be declared unfit for inhabitants by a government authority.
