Gov Grants for vancant property

[Stephen Loguidice]

I found a property that has been vacant for a while in Queens NY. It's in a very wanted area, surrounded by nice apt buildings and across from an elementary school. Trying to find a creative way to finance the purchase and someone mentioned to me to look into a grant by the city. Can anyone help point me in the right direction on where to look to see if this is available?

It's a mixed use multi-fam property that I would make my primary residence. It's completely boarded up, had been vacant for quit some time and is definitely uninhabitable.

Thanks for th help.
