• 23 properties are now slated for demolition by the Mahoning County Land Bank or City of Youngstown;
• 7 properties have achieved code compliance;
• 56 properties continue to move through the code enforcement process;
• 3405 Lenox was donated by The Home Savings and Loan Company, renovated, and sold to a first time homebuyer;
• 3402 Lenox has been acquired by the City of Youngstown and will be renovated;
• The Seventh Ward Citizens Coalition was awarded a $15,000 grant from the Youngstown Foundation to complete neighborhood improvements;
• Lots of Green 2.0 supported the development of the Pointview Children and Families Garden;
• Two workdays were held in 2014 with residents, community groups, and YSU students and resulted in the clean up of more than 15 properties.
