The Apopka Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board has approved the framework of its façade grant repair program, which aims to help homeowners struggling to afford necessary home repairs upgrade their properties’ exterior.
The city plans to launch the program Aug. 1, aiming to address code compliance issues and eventually raise property values in the CRA district.
Eligibility for the façade grant repair program are owner-occupied single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes within the CRA boundaries, with a maximum of $30,000 per property over a 10-year period.
Before the program launches, interim city administrator Radley Williams and city attorney Cliff Shepard will finalize changes on the program.
The CRA is unrolling its façade grant repair program to push forward on its CRA projects.
