The Neighborhood Home Beautification Program (NHBP) was created by the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners to provide financial assistance to single-family property owners residing in CCRT areas as well as the Lake Region municipalities of South Bay, Pahokee, and Belle Glade.  This assistance (up to $10,000) is utilized to implement exterior improvements to existing single-family, owner occupied properties. The goal of the program is to create a healthier neighborhood, paying particular attention to those aspects that enhance the neighborhood appearance and the households' quality of life, and contribute to a greater sense of community to the neighborhood. Only those single-family residential properties on the streets identified and selected by OCR staff and the CCRT Committee will be eligible to receive assistance under the NHBP. 

A total of $753,699 has been allocated to the NHBP.  To date, exterior improvements have been completed in 69 homes, including: seventeen (17) homes in Juno Ridge, at a cost of $53,712; ten (10) homes in the City of Belle Glade, at a cost of $67,265; twelve (12) homes in the City of Pahokee, at a cost of $75,698; nine (9) homes in the City of South Bay, at a cost of $73,050; ten (10) homes in Royal Palm Estates, at a cost of $78,060; and eleven (11) homes in Gramercy Park, at a cost of $85,210 was expended in Gramercy Park with receiving the exterior home improvements.  The OCR is currently working on three (3) home improvement projects in the Ranch Haven/Laura Lane Area.
