The Haines City Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has unveiled a significant initiative, the Residential Rehabilitation Program, which is set to invest $3 million in refreshing the homes of residents. This program is designed to assist homeowners with critical renovations, addressing issues that may affect safety and overall quality of life. By providing financial aid for necessary repairs, the CRA aims to enhance the living conditions within Haines City, making homeownership more sustainable for many families.

The initiative not only aims to improve individual homes but also seeks to foster a stronger, more vibrant community.
