The City of New Bern has recently become aware of posts and videos circulating on social media regarding a supposed "Community Redevelopment Grant."

The information being shared is inaccurate.

The City does not administer a program with the requirements being:
*Mandatory attendance at Board of Aldermen meetings
*Monthly meeting attendance in order to "qualify"
*Grant eligibility that's tied to the referenced process
*Collection of documentation through unofficial channels

Residents are encouraged to use caution when sharing personal information or documents in response to unofficial social media posts.

If the City offers housing assistance, rehabilitation, or grant opportunities, those programs are announced directly through our official government channels including the city website & official City social media pages.
