Neighborhood Partnership Program

The Neighborhood Partnership Program is a community development initiative of the City of Tamarac that supports neighborhood-level improvements intended to create beautiful, healthy, and active communities. The program allows eligible neighborhood associations and homeowners' associations to compete for grant funding for improvements that benefit their communities. The application acceptance period begins August 31, 2026, and ends September 14, 2026. The source identifies the City of Tamarac Housing Division as the program contact and provides a program email address and telephone number for applicants seeking additional information. Eligible projects must benefit the entire neighborhood or community, must be located on the homeowners' association's private common property, and must be visible to the public. Examples identified by the program include upgrades to existing neighborhood or subdivision signage; median landscaping; low water-use landscaping; hedge replacement; removal of nuisance plant species; street tree plantings in rights-of-way; enhanced lighting projects; solar panels; small outdoor fitness structures and exercise stations; and outdoor furniture such as benches and tables. Tree trimming, pruning, and removal that is not required as part of City code is also identified among the project examples. Project proposals must demonstrate that neighborhood members have reached consensus concerning the identification, planning, and implementation of the proposed improvement. The property and proposed project must be within the City of Tamarac, and the community must be at least five years old. Applicants must be active neighborhood or homeowners' associations registered with the City. An association must have elected officers and meeting minutes documenting the elections, must be a Florida not-for-profit corporation in good standing, and must possess an Employer Identification Number. The association must have no current code violations. Previous awardees that still have open Neighborhood Partnership Program projects are not eligible to reapply while those projects remain open. The City's grant contribution is capped at $4,999. Participating neighborhoods must provide a match equal to at least 50 percent of the City's contribution. The neighborhood contribution may consist of cash or sweat equity provided by residents. The program also withholds 20 percent of the grant until completion and inspection of the project. This withholding requirement is waived for projects using 100 percent sweat equity. The source does not state a minimum grant award, total amount available across the program, expected number of awards, or a specified grant performance period. Applications are submitted through the Neighborhood Partnership Program Application provided through the City's linked SeamlessDocs application page. The source also identifies an NPP Application Authorization and Representative Designation Form. An NPP Checklist is provided for reference only. The source does not identify a separate letter of intent, concept paper, pre-proposal, or other pre-application gating deadline. It also does not state formal scored evaluation criteria, although the program requirements establish that proposed projects must provide community-wide benefit, be publicly visible, satisfy the location requirements, and demonstrate neighborhood consensus regarding project identification, planning, and implementation. Applications are accepted from August 31, 2026 through September 14, 2026. No statement in the supplied source establishes that the program is rolling or that it recurs annually, biennially, quarterly, or on another defined schedule, so no future cycle is projected from the available information. The source does not provide an award notification date or project performance period.
