Community Enhancement is dedicated to keeping Chesterfield County a valuable and desirable place to live. The department supports neighborhoods and corridors by offering resources and services regarding anti-litter initiatives (Keep Chesterfield Beautiful), code enforcement (business licenses, property maintenance, vehicle registration, etc.), federally-funded grant programs (including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), lead-based paint hazard control), real estate and housing development, revitalization, and housing resources and employment support.
In partnership with a local nonprofit, Area Congregations Together in Service (ACTS), Chesterfield County has completed distribution of all $22.6 million in state and federal aid designated for its emergency rent and utility assistance. The program is now closed.
Over 7,500 people and more than 600 landlords received funding from this program.
