The Grants Administration/Neighborhood Development Division participates and administers
grants that assist city residents in the revitalization of their homes. Citizens that wish to
benefit from the rehabilitation efforts must be homeowners and income eligible. Anyone that
wants to be placed on a waiting list may contact the department by calling 775-8238 or
through e-mail Karen Kennedy. The Division also receives Fair Housing Complaints
from individuals who feel they have been discriminated against based on their race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, handicap or familial status in their search for housing. The planners in this
division promote Affordable Housing Programs through disposition of Urban Renewal Lands and
partnerships with local non-profit developers such as Brick Capital Community Development
Corporation, Sanford Affordable Housing Development Corporation, and Sanford Area Habitat for Humanity.
