The document outlines the importance of revitalizing downtown areas for economic health and community pride, emphasizing the role of the Virgin Islands Housing Finance Authority (VIHFA) in urban renewal and community revitalization. Funding for these initiatives is primarily provided through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), which supports projects meeting specific national objectives and runs an annual application process for non-profit and government agencies. In addition to housing and commercial developments, revitalization efforts are encouraged to incorporate public services, youth programs, and recreational opportunities.
