Through its renovation and new home construction work, the Cuyahoga Land Bank is helping strengthen the housing market in under-resourced communities. A more robust real estate market in these communities will generate increased tax revenues for local governments. Higher property values result in a more stable tax base, which can be reinvested in community services and infrastructure improvements. These additional resources can be used to fund education, public safety, transportation, and other essential services that benefit the residents of impoverished neighborhoods.
