The City of High Springs Residential Grant Program offers financial assistance to homeowners aiming to improve and revitalize their properties. This program provides grants ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, with a 50/50 reimbursement structure for eligible exterior home improvements up to $5,000. The goal is to support property enhancements that contribute to neighborhood revitalization within the city.
Eligible projects include exterior painting and preparation, siding repairs, masonry or stucco work, and installation or repair of awnings and shutters. Homeowners can also apply for repairs or replacements of doors and windows that comply with current Florida codes. Additional eligible improvements cover front porch or stoop reconstruction, addressing exterior code violations, fencing repairs or replacement, and accessibility ramp construction.
Roof repair or replacement is included if the applicant can document a need such as leaks or storm damage. Weatherization and insulation upgrades are also supported under this grant. Tree removal is allowed when trees pose risks like roof damage, interference with utility lines, foundation cracking, or other structural issues.
Other qualifying projects include garage door repairs for attached garages and installation of outdoor security lighting. To be eligible for the grant, properties must be residential and located within the City of High Springs Community Redevelopment District.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis without a set deadline. Homeowners interested in applying should visit the City of High Springs website for detailed information on application procedures and requirements.
This program offers an opportunity to enhance your home's exterior while receiving financial support that offsets costs. It encourages community improvement through targeted investments in residential properties within designated areas of High Springs.
