NW 79th Street CRA Town Hall to Launch Neighborhood Improvement Program

The NW 79th Street Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) proudly invites residents, homeowners, and community stakeholders to attend an upcoming Town Hall Meeting to officially launch the NW 79th Street CRA Neighborhood Improvement Program—a transformative grant initiative designed to enhance the homes throughout the corridor.

The Town Hall will take place on:

Date: Thursday, May 7, 2026

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Location: Arcola Lakes Senior Center

8401 NW 14th Avenue, Miami, FL 33147

The town hall will provide attendees with an in-depth look at the Neighborhood Improvement Program, which offers grant-funded home repairs at no cost to eligible homeowners. The program is designed to support long-term residents by addressing critical home improvement needs and preserving the integrity of the community.

Eligible repairs may include roof replacements, impact windows and doors, electrical safety upgrades, air conditioning and water heater replacement, landscaping, fencing, flood mitigation, and more.

To qualify, applicants must own and reside in their home within the 79th Street Corridor, have lived in the property for at least two years, meet income guidelines, and be current on property taxes, among other requirements.

“This program is about more than repairs—it’s about reinvestment in our people, our homes, and our future,” said Khass Oupelle, NW 79th Street CRA Executive Director. “We are committed to ensuring residents have access to the resources and reside in thriving neighborhoods.”

During the Town Hall, attendees will:

  • Learn about program eligibility and application requirements
  • Receive guidance on preparing necessary documents
  • Ask questions directly to program representatives
  • Connect with partners supporting the initiative

Residents are encouraged to come prepared to learn how they can take advantage of this opportunity to improve their homes and strengthen the community.
