The City of Reno is a thriving urban center known for our world-class colleges, vibrant culture, diverse outdoor activities, and innovative industries.

Love Your Block is a grant program that funds resident-led neighborhood revitalization projects in U.S. cities. From transforming vacant lots into community gardens to repairing playground equipment to removing trash and debris from a public right of way, the program supports cities as it enables residents to design, develop, and deliver programs and policies that improve communities.

Established and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Love Your Block builds on the successful legacy of Cities of Service, which has helped hundreds of mayors and municipalities engage residents as a leading voice in public problem-solving since its launch by New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg in 2009.
