Frenchtown Neighborhood First Plan

In January 2020, Frenchtown neighborhood residents, business owners and other stakeholders began to develop a Neighborhood First Plan for the Frenchtown neighborhood, a process facilitated by the City of Tallahassee’s Neighborhood Affairs Division. The plan builds on and furthers the work completed through other recent planning efforts, as well as advances new ideas to address neighborhood priorities. A resident-led Community Action Team (CAT) and three Priority Area Teams (PAT) were formed to oversee the planning process and to develop the plan.

 

Frenchtown Housing Rehab Program Seeks Applications from Frenchtown Property Owners and Landlords

The Frenchtown Housing Rehab Program is a five-year forgivable loan program funded by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), that seeks to repair homes located in the Frenchtown neighborhood. Revitalizing the Frenchtown neighborhood through the preservation of its existing housing stock is essential to the livelihood and continued vibrancy of the community. By funding needed housing repairs, the Frenchtown Housing Rehab Program will aid in keeping residents in their homes, ensure that neighborhood homes are free from health and safety hazards, and preserve the housing unit to allow current residents to age in place and/or provide future residents with decent and safe housing. The maximum funding provided by the program is up to $25,000 for owner-occupied units and up to $17,500 for renter-occupied units.

Questions? Contact the Neighborhood Affairs Division at 850-354-1926 or neighborhoods@talgov.com

Frenchtown Community Engagement Fund

Frenchtown Community Engagement Fund

The Frenchtown Community Engagement Fund (CEF) is a grant program that seeks to provide funding to Frenchtown residents and stakeholders to help implement the Frenchtown Neighborhood First Plan. At the heart of the CEF is the engagement of Frenchtown residents and stakeholders in the implementation of their Neighborhood First Plan. Frenchtown residents and stakeholders are acutely aware of the issues and concerns that face their neighborhood, and many are willing if they receive some help to undertake a project, which will improve their neighborhood. Proposals approved for CEF funding, from their inception, and development must engage Frenchtown residents and stakeholders.
