Under this program, the Hallandale Beach CRA (HBCRA) provides a maximum amount of $100,000 in down payment assistance for the purchase of a first home in the CRA district. These funds are available to affordable housing buyers (whose income is between 50% and 120% of the Broward County median income guidelines) to be used for gap funding and closing costs. The program also provides an incentive of up to $10,000 in down payment assistance for workforce housing buyers whose income is above 120% but not more than 140% median. An additional $5,000 incentive is available for first responders, teachers and nurses.

Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) is intended to encourage neighborhood beautification and enhanced curb appeal in all areas of the redevelopment district. Our goal is to provide financial assistance for exterior residential facade improvements in the redevelopment district for the purpose of improving property conditions and value, and aiding in the elimination of slum and blight. The program offers up to $50,000 for single-family homes and up to $75,000 for multi-family homes for qualified exterior improvements.

Under the Paint Program, the Hallandale Beach CRA (HBCRA) can provide assistance to home/property owners who wish to utilize the services of a qualified paint company/contractor. Homeowners or property owners utilizing the services of a qualified paint company/contractor can receive assistance of up to $3,000 for single-family dwellings, with the HBCRA paying a portion of the cost (90%) and the applicant paying the balance (10%) and up to $6,000 for multi-unit dwellings, with the HBCRA paying a portion of the cost (75%) and the applicant paying the balance (25%).

Additionally, there is a free paint program (PTT) available for property and homeowners. Contact the HBCRA office for additional information.
