The city of Sunrise FL to offer financial aid for home repairs and replacement

Residents of Sunrise FL can now apply for financial aid to apply towards home improvements under the city's Housing Rehabilitation Program. Owner occupied property can apply for loans to pay for critical renovations.

They must be verify the home repairs and or replacement to deteriorated systems as well as any unidentifiable health hazards.

The way it works is by having the city forgive 20% of the loan for each year the borrower remains in the home. The program draws on state and federal money for the loans. To qualify....individuals must have earned less than $24,900 in the 2007 tax year and a family of four must have earned less than $35,600. Some other items needed to be supplied along with their completed application form are their W-2 tax returns for the last 2 yrs...their last 3 pay stubs...6 most recent bank statements...divorce,alimony,child support,pension and social security information if applicable. They will also need to show proof of home ownership,paid property tax and insurance bills....etc.

According to city commissioner Donald Rosen... the financial aid program will not only add value to the homes that have been effected by the recent rise in foreclosures....but will also provide critical equity lines for building improvements.

Decreasing values.....poor neighborhhood conditions and homes that were damaged after the last big hurricane has caused many homeowners not to be unable to repair the damage and improve their properties due to lack of funds available. This program will most certainly will improve current conditions in the long run. The program started about 15 years ago.

I think this could be a program that will help maintain the community as well as help people make those critical repairs they need to keep their property more habitable. My hat goes off to the city of Sunrise FL!

All applications will be taken on a first come first serve basis.

How do you feel about Carnivals? Well the famous All Saint's Carivnal is in town. They are located in Sunrise, Fl on the corner of Oakland Park and Hiatus. They hold this carinval every year the weekend of Valentine's. I took my kids the weekend before to the carnival in Margate. They were so excited. I plan on taking them tonight to this one.

You can't go to the carnival without playing the games. I had the kids play some and boy they were thrilled. They each one a prize. Every game that the kids play now always wins a prize. They felt they were special to each win one.

Here is a picture of my kids with their prizes they won. Look how happy they are.

Now you can't go to a Carnival and not have there food. The famous Funnel Cake or also know as Elephant Ears. My kids took one look at it and wondered what it was, once they took a bit they were hooked. What can I say its a tradition.

Hope you make it to the carinval. If you take pictures while there come back and leave them in the comment section would love to see them.
