Commercial Facade Grant Program (CDBG)

Commercial Façade Program

The purpose of the Commercial Façade Program is to enhance economic opportunities in the City of Montebello. The Program will provide financial assistance in the form of a grant to commercial property and/or business owners to make facade improvements to commercial buildings. The updated boundaries will include any business within the city of Montebello that is identified to be located in a Low-to-Moderate income area census tract.   

The goals and objectives of the Program are as follows:

  • Facilitate commercial revitalization and enhance the character in the low-mod census tract areas (51% or more of the households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income)
  • Preserve and beautify the Low to Moderate Income (LMI) Areas in the City
  • Create a pleasant walkable environment through improvements to the visual aesthetics of commercial building facades.

The Commercial Façade Program will assist in restoring, substantially beautifying, and/or enhancing the entire façade of a commercial building.

If you are a commercial property business owner who owns a commercial property located in the city limits of Montebello and who is interested in this grant program, please read the guideline requirements and submit an application.

Contractors who are interested in providing bids for any Commercial Facade project should contact the Housing Division at (323) 887-1200 ext.1318.
