Livable City Initiative (LCI)

New Haven’s Livable City Initiative (LCI) is the City’s neighborhood-focused effort to enhance the experience of those who live and work in New Haven.  To do so, LCI focuses on enforcing housing code and public space requirements and on implementing programs and public improvements to support high quality, affordable, energy efficient housing and safer, healthier, more attractive communities.  To help attract and retain residents, its Re New Haven initiative packages up to $80,000 in incentives for new homeowners, including $10,000 for down payment assistance, up to $30,000 for energy saving renovations, and full-tuition at in-state schools for public school graduates.
