CCEDA is working with the City of Hartford and corporate and community partners to restore neighborhood homes, many of which are architecturally valuable, for owner occupants. Through an appraisal gap financing program, developers are able to rehabilitate buildings such as the row of charming brick "perfect sixes" and sell them to owners who have a commitment to occupy and maintain their properties.
In June, 2001, several revitalized units on Hartford's Mortson Street were introduced to the public. Some of the properties had been sold before completion. In addition to the effort to increase owner occupancy in dozens of neighborhoods throughout the city, Hartford and the State are aggressively mothballing buildings that require repair and additional investment, or removing those that are beyond repair and hinder the recovery of their surrounding areas.
Neighborhood Housing
CCEDA is working with Hartford’s administration to ensure continued progress of our mutual efforts to address the housing needs of city neighborhoods. The City has demonstrated its dedication and commitment to the identified Neighborhood Revitalization Zones, (NRZ), working closely with representative, developers and CCEDA, to demolish dilapidated structures, preserve those properties found fit for future redevelopment and determining feasible projects that create opportunities for increased homeownership.
The Neighborhood Revitalization Zones are spread throughout Hartford:
| North Frog Hollow | South Green | Southend Neighborhood Revitalization Association |
| Upper Albany Revitalization | West End Civic Association | Asylum Hill Problem Solving Revitalization Association |
| Clay Arsenal Revitalization Association | Blue Hills | South Downtown |
| From Hollow South | Coalition to Strengthen the Sheldon Charter Oak Neighborhood | Northeast Revitalization Association |
| Parkville Revitalization Association | Maple Avenue Revitalization Group |
