Live Where You Work Program
Purpose:
Under this program the City of Kissimmee Community Redevelopment Agency will grant $10,000 to eligible employees of employers in the CRA Overlay District on a first come first served basis to be used towards the purchase of a home. It is also intended to improve the owner-occupancy rate in the Community Redevelopment Agency area and encourage a walkable community that is less dependant on traditional modes of transportation.
Restrictions and Guidelines:
Persons who have filed for homestead exemption in the CRA Overlay District at any time during the 12 months prior to the date of application are not eligible for this program. Persons who have been renting property in the CRA Overlay District are eligible to apply for this funding. The program excludes properties located in the B-1 Zoning District. Legal nonconforming multifamily structures, duplexes and triplexes are only eligible if converted to single family. The grant is not retroactive. Only one grant per household structure is permitted.
Eligible Employers:
Any business located within the boundaries of the CRA is considered eligible. The employment requirement must be fulfilled within the CRA limits. For example, grantees employed by a company or firm that has a branch within the CRA limits but work at a branch outside the CRA limits are not eligible. The participating employers will be responsible for completing any employment requirement verification and monitoring for the duration of the grant. The CRA will be responsible for administering the funds and monitoring the homestead status of the Grantee.
