In addition, CityWide plays a critical role in the revitalization of neighborhoods throughout the City of Dayton.  Phoenix and Genesis are examples of public-private partnerships that led to the revitalization of downtown neighborhoods.  Our housing department provides assistance to residents through such programs as Mortgage Credit Counseling, Rehabilitation Loans and Down Payment Assistance.
