In-Fill Housing Project

The Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (HBCRA) is focused on eliminating slum and blighted conditions.  In addition, the HBCRA is focused on stimulating and creating physical, economic and social improvements in the area.  A vision of the agency is to apply these improvements in the northwest area of the City as it is considered the first priority for redevelopment to create greater real progress in the community.  As a result, the HBCRA created the In-Fill Housing Project, which entailed the construction of eight single-family homes, on HBCRA owned land, to be sold as affordable housing opportunities to income eligible buyers. All housing units received the national Green Building Standard Bronze Certification. Green homes or energy efficient construction provide a financial benefit overtime to property owners.

The In-Fill Housing Project generated significant benefits to the community and the local government. It creates a diverse workforce and promotes social and economic integration. These affordable housing units replaced vacant land, which benefit the local government from increased property tax revenues. Furthermore, buyers of these units were able to participate in the First Time Home Buyers Program offered by the HBCRA.
