Rock the Block Oshkosh
Rock the Block Oshkosh Announces
The Historic 6th Ward Neighborhood Association has been chosen for the 2025 Rock the Block Oshkosh neighborhood revitalization program.
Rock the Block is a Habitat for Humanity International brand that brings people together to revitalize neighborhoods. The purpose is to get neighbors and the greater community working together to improve their city.
Rock the Block is presented by these collaborative partners: Habitat for Humanity Oshkosh, Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods, Inc. (GO-HNI), and the City of Oshkosh. This exciting neighborhood revitalization initiative, "Rock the Block Oshkosh,” utilizes neighborhood association members, city loans, donations, and local grant funding for exterior home improvement. The program was kick-started through a generous grant from US Venture Basic Needs Giving Program and continues to be funded through generous donors and local grant opportunities.
Rock the Block has worked to revitalize areas of Sacred Heart, Congress Fields, River East, Midtown, and Menominee South Neighborhood Associations since 2019. The program’s 2024 efforts will focus on the Stevens Park Neighborhood Association.
Residents living within the Historic 6th Ward Neighborhood Association boundaries can apply to receive assistance with exterior home repairs and lawn care, including but not limited to edging, lawn patching, seeding, tree and bush trimming, weeding, raking, brush removal, mulching, pressure washing, and gutter cleaning. Applications will be available online at www.habitatoshkosh.org/rock-the-block, below, and the Oshkosh ReStore (1640 S. Koeller Street) in early September. The deadline to apply for 2025 projects will be November 1, 2024.
