HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
The Community Development Department coordinates a variety of programs designed to assist current and prospective Sunrise homeowners.Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
The NTCP was designed to provide residents with an opportunity to raise neighbor-hood traffic concerns and to participate in the selection of strategies that promote safe and pleasant conditions for residents, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists in Sunrise neighborhoods.
The NTCP is applicable only for residential City streets, and is not appropriate for arterial or collector streets, or for cul-de-sacs or dead-end roads. Additionally, for a neighbor-hood street to qualify for NTCP consideration, it must meet speeding and traffic volume criteria as determined by a City evaluation.
Interested neighborhoods must follow the formal application process established by the City’s Community Development Department. For each high priority project selected, City staff will consult emergency responders (Fire-Rescue and Police), as well as other entities - such as schools - that may be impacted by traffic calming. Staff will then meet with the applicants and help establish a Working Group of five to ten residents to collaborate with on the neighborhood’s traffic calming efforts. For more information, please call (954) 746-3270.
Neighborhood Street Lighting Participation Program
Under the NSLPP, Sunrise neighborhoods - including those without formal homeowners’ associations - may apply for funding to enhance lighting on their streets. Grants may cover 100% of the project cost for neighborhoods with public roadways, while matching funds of 50% of the project cost may be provided for enhancements on private streets - in each case, up to the City’s maximum per-project allowance of $40,000.
All applications must identify a Neighborhood Project Coordinator and contain a minimum of twenty signatures (or be signed by a majority of affected property owners). Applications periods vary, and submissions will be evaluated on the basis of benefit, need, cost, current City lighting standards and other factors.
For more information regarding the NSLPP, please call (954) 746-3270.
Housing Programs
The City’s Grants Administration team administers a variety of programs that enhance the City’s appearance, safety and overall quality of life - often by assisting low- and moderate-income households.

Homeowners must meet residency and income requirements to qualify. For information regarding the four programs below,
please call (954) 572-2315.
