SNP launches new‘Neighbor2Neighbor’ program

Sturgis Neighborhood Program has announced the launch of its new Neighbor2Neighbor home improvement program, with help of a grant from Michigan State Housing Development Authority.
The initiative is intended to provide crucial home repair and rehabilitation services to up to three income-eligible homeowners within the city of Sturgis. 
The goal is to enhance safety, comfort and long-term housing stability, said Kathryn Myers, executive director at SNP. 
“For more than three decades, SNP has been dedicated to strengthening Sturgis neighborhoods, Myers said. “This new Neighbor2Neighbor Community impact initiative continues that legacy by allowing us to improve the quality of our housing, which we believe is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen our community. When residents have safe, stable and dignified homes, the entire neighborhood thrives.” 
Applications will be accepted beginning March 1, 2026, and are available through SNP’s Facebook page, bit.ly/40oeCh8.
Sturgis residents also may contact SNP for additional information or assistance with the application process, at 269-651-4780.
For 35 years, Sturgis Neighborhood Program has worked as a local housing nonprofit. During that time, the organization has led improvement of more than 30 properties throughout the community.
SNP’s mission is to improve living conditions in the Sturgis community by providing adequate housing and coordinating social and economic support services. It is part of the city’s community development division.
Additional SNP programs:

  • New construction through “Teaming Up With The Trades,” in partnership with St. Joseph County CTE.
  • “N2N Community Impact” initiatives, including disposal days, home pride partnerships and the snow removal coalition.
  • Renovations aimed at upgrade vacant homes for productive use.
