...body
EXPLANATION: The Village continues to implement the State of Florida's State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program. The SHIP Program provides grants to homeowners for essential repairs and renovations. This program requires local governments to expend a minimum of 20% of the yearly allocation for special needs applicants to remain compliant. This set-aside ensures that households with special needs have access to these housing rehabilitation programs. To qualify under the special needs set-aside, a household member must meet one of the Florida Statutes criteria.
The project at 13605 Barberry Drive applied for the SHIP Program in May 2025 and qualified as a special needs recipient.
The project includes the following improvements:
* Full roof replacement, including skylights and an attic fan
* Updated electrical panel
* Replacement of the entire HVAC duct system
* Replacement of three windows with impact-rated units
* Most importantly, an ADA-compliant bathroom remodel to accommodate a household member who currently requires assistance while showering, enhancing accessibility and safety within the home
The estimated total cost is $62,090.95.
