Community Redevelopment Agency Workshop · 2026-06-10 · agenda_packet

The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is holding a budget workshop on June 10, 2026, to discuss various items including the FY 2026-2027 budget, redevelopment plan updates, an informational mailing program, a Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Pilot Program, and budget discussions for Wayfinding & Downtown Branding and a Downtown Parking and Access Management Study. The Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Pilot Program aims to address deteriorated or unsafe residential conditions within CRA districts by providing direct grant assistance of up to $15,000 per property, with a total pilot funding cap of $150,000, estimated to assist 6-10 households. Eligibility requires homeowners to own and occupy the property within a CRA district, meet income qualifications (household income at or below 80% of Area Median Income), and have documented code issues or substandard conditions. The program is designed to remove upfront financial barriers for income-qualified homeowners and support neighborhood stabilization and blight reduction. The CRA districts include the North Historic District, South Historic District, and Central Business District. The document also outlines a proposed process timeline for the Palatka CRA Plan Update, with key stages including Initiation, Assessment and Evaluation, Plan Document, and Plan Adoption, spanning from February to September.
