City approves grant to remodel storm-damaged homes

Pembroke Pines officials voted 5-0 on Wednesday to strike an agreement with Broward County to refurbish 10 very low to moderate income homes ravaged by Hurricanes Wilma or Katrina.

The program, whose contract was extended through March 31, 2010, uses a $689,283 grant to aid homeowners whose incomes are less than 80 percent of the average median income.

The home repair program is a 15-year deferred payment loan specifically designed to target the Holly Lake mobile home community, a Pines neighborhood west of U.S. 27.

To qualify, homeowners must show proper documentation of disaster-related damaged still unfixed by the Disaster Recovery Initiative, according to contract documents.
