County Receives Funds to Repair Homes in Municipal Services District
The County's Housing Finance and Community Redevelopment Division has been awarded $194,000 from the Florida Division of Emergency Management as part of the Hurricane Loss Mitigation Program to strengthen homes in the Broward Municipal Services District (BMSD). The program provides assistance for repairs to storm proof windows, doors, and roofs of homes that may be vulnerable to damage from severe weather including hurricanes.
The funding will be secured in the form of a no interest 60-month mortgage, requiring no repayment if program requirements are met. Owner occupancy for five years will be required.
This grant initiative is an outcome of collaboration among BMSD Internal Committee members which includes Emergency Management, Grants Administration, and Housing Finance and Community Redevelopment.
