The City of Cleveland Heights is hosting open houses Jan. 29 for four homes renovated using money from a federal program created to help cities tackle the foreclosure crisis.
The city received $2 million through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which grants money to local governments to buy abandoned, vacant and foreclosed homes, repair them and turn them around for sale. The dollars also can be used to demolish homes that can't be saved.
The following four homes recently renovated through this program will be open for tours from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29:
- 3942 Delmore Road
- 950 Dresden Road (includes side lot)
- 3273 East Overlook Road
- 863 Nelaview Road (includes side lot)
There are specific income and other requirements buyers must meet in order to be eligible to purchase a NSP home, which are listed here on the city's website. Here is information from an article about another open house the city hosted in August.
Once the homes are sold, the money goes back into the fund to continue to rebuild homes or demolish those that are dilapidated.

What criteria was used to decide to repair these homes.
After looking at them on Google Earth, it seems to me they should all have been demolished.
How much money was spent on these homes to make them ready for sale.
Thank you.
