If you own or lease commercial space inside the Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (HBCRA) area, the useful question is not whether the CRA “has grants.” It is which commercial track still accepts FY2025–2026 packets, which corridor and use you sit in, what match and application check the controlling PDF actually requires, and how fast you must book an appointment before funding runs out.
This owner map is the Hallandale commercial-stack twin to the Gazette’s already-live District 8 CRSP / CBALP construction-mitigation package. That package is a different job—NE 1st Avenue streetscape impact, rent stabilization, and forgivable operating capital for storefronts documenting a construction-linked revenue drop. This map covers the broader FY25–26 business incentives ladder: façade, interior, kitchen, rent emergency, film, signage, mural, tax reimbursement, job-creation cash, and related commercial tools. Do not treat mitigation money and the general commercial stack as the same form.
Canonical sources (re-verified live for this package):
- Business Programs & Incentives hub — application process OPEN for FY2025–2026; appointment required (no walk-ins); last day to submit June 30, 2026, based on funding availability
- Program application PDFs linked from that hub (November 2025 revisions for most tracks; March 2026 revision for Restaurant Rent Emergency Stability Grant)
- District 8 Priority Area Incentives sheet for corridor focus language
Hard process rule before anything else: call (954) 457-2228, schedule an appointment, download the current PDF for your track, and bring match docs, lease, BTR, and quotes as that checklist states. Incomplete packets do not hold a funded place the way a complete in-person package does.
Who this map is for
| You are… | Read this package as… |
| --- | --- |
| Commercial or mixed-use owner (or authorized tenant) inside the HBCRA, especially Priority Area corridors | Primary audience for façade, interior, signage, mural, and related exterior/interior money |
| Restaurant owner + landlord who can file jointly, with a multi-year lease and Priority Area address | RRESG / kitchen / TLS paths |
| Employer starting, relocating, or expanding jobs inside the CRA | Direct Cash / Job Creation track |
| Producer planning qualifying local spend and at least one full production day in the HBCRA | Commercial Film Incentive |
| District 8 NE 1st Ave storefront hit by active streetscape construction with a documented revenue drop | Gazette twin (CRSP / CBALP)—not this spine |
Wrong geography, a “for sale” listing, work started before Board approval, or a tenant filing without owner authorization are the expensive almost-eligible mistakes. Confirm Priority Area status and the controlling PDF at the appointment—not from a neighbor’s memory of last year’s flyer.
Why now: the commercial stack is open, funded, and calendar-bound
The live hub states the FY2025–2026 application process is OPEN, that you must make an appointment to submit a complete package (no walk-ins), and that the last day to submit is June 30, 2026, based on funding availability. Most November 2025 program PDFs repeat that June 30 header. The March 2026 Restaurant Rent Emergency Stability Grant PDF header instead states June 26, 2026. Treat the hub’s June 30 line as the default calendar for the stack, ask staff which date controls your program at the intake appointment, and do not wait until late June if your corridor’s pool is already thinning.
Funding is first-come / Board-discretion language across the packets. An application is not a guarantee. Priority Area owners are often allowed to combine incentives under façade and related guidelines—ask staff which stacks are allowed for your address before you bid two scopes that cannot share the same costs.

Priority Areas (corridor map owners must match)
Façade, interior, RRESG, and related PDFs list Priority Areas with only minor wording differences. For owner planning, treat these corridors as the priority geography staff will score first:
- Pembroke Road from I-95 to one block east of US-1
- US-1 from Pembroke Road to SE 3rd Street
- South Dixie Highway from Pembroke Road to SW 11th Street
- Hallandale Beach Boulevard from I-95 to NE 14th Avenue
- Foster Road from NW 11th Avenue to South Dixie Highway
- NE 1st Avenue from Hallandale Beach Boulevard to NE 5th Street (District 8)
District 8 is also called out for priority restaurant, gallery, music-venue, and mural outcomes. Kitchen money on the CKG PDF centers District 8 and Foster Road, with discretionary corridor language for other priority streets. Confirm your parcel against staff maps before you print contractor bids sized to the wrong tier.
Façade (CFIG): the storefront money most owners ask about first
What it is. Matching help to eliminate exterior obsolescence, remove deterioration, and raise curb appeal on commercial/mixed-use buildings in the CRA—windows, doors, roofing, lighting, awnings, paint, landscaping, parking/walkways, signage as part of a façade project, and related eligible exterior work listed in the PDF.
Verified dollar table (CFIG PDF, revised Nov. 5, 2025):
| Priority Area | HBCRA / Applicant match | Maximum award |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pembroke Rd (I-95 to one block east of US-1) | 70/30 | $50,000 |
| US-1 (Pembroke Rd to SE 3rd St) | 80/20 | $50,000 |
| South Dixie Hwy (Pembroke Rd to SW 11th St) | 80/20 | $50,000 |
| Hallandale Beach Blvd (I-95 to NE 14th Ave) | 80/20 | $50,000 |
| Foster Rd (NW 11th Ave to South Dixie Hwy) | 80/20 | $75,000 |
| NE 1st Ave / District 8 (HBB to NE 5th St) | 80/20 | $75,000 |
| Outside Priority Areas | 60/40 | $40,000 |
The PDF’s program intro also states recipients provide a minimum match of at least 10% to 30% of total project cost; the table above is the corridor-by-corridor award and share schedule. Pay your match before HBCRA begins disbursement. Sign-only façade work is called out at a 60/40 owner/HBCRA split. Murals are required within District 8 (and may be required elsewhere case-by-case).
Process (PDF): appointment at (954) 457-2228; in-person only; hard copy + electronic copy; $250.00 check payable to the City of Hallandale Beach Community Redevelopment Agency; Board path; agreements and recorded documents on the PDF timeline; do not start work before approval. Properties listed for sale are out. Prior HBCRA funding can lock you out for 5 years unless the Board approves a case-by-case exception.

Restaurant Rent Emergency Stability Grant (RRESG): past-due bridge + 35% runway
What it is. Emergency rental assistance for restaurants in CRA Priority Areas facing economic hardship—not a construction-mitigation rent share and not a permanent rent program.
Verified benefit shape (RRESG PDF, revised March 2026):
- Up to two (2) months of past-due rent, paid to the landlord
- Then up to four (4) months of ongoing assistance at thirty-five percent (35%) of the tenant’s rent obligation
- Assistance beyond six months is not provided under this framing
- Owner and tenant are joint applicants; lease minimum two (2) years; restaurant must stay open/operational during assisted months
Process: appointment (954) 457-2228; in-person package; $250.00 application check; hard + electronic copy. Confirm whether your file is governed by the PDF header date (June 26, 2026) or the hub’s stack date (June 30, 2026) when you book—do not invent a reconciled rule at the counter.
Primary PDF: RESTAURANT-RENT-EMERGENCY-STABILITY-GRANT-REVISED-MARCH-2026-1.pdf.
Commercial Film Incentive: small award, real local-spend bar
What it is. A production incentive to attract film work into Hallandale Beach and the HBCRA—and to push local spend into lodging, rentals, food, city services, and related qualifying costs.
Verified bars (Film PDF, revised Nov. 5, 2025):
- Minimum $10,000 qualifying spend in the City of Hallandale Beach
- Minimum one (1) full production day inside the HBCRA

Kitchen, interior, and District 8 dining destination tools
Commercial Kitchen Grant (CKG PDF). Built to improve restaurant operating efficiency and attract dining destinations on District 8 (NE 1st Ave) and Foster Road, with priority use types that include microbreweries/wine bars, specialty coffee, trendy urban restaurants (including health food), specialty donut shops, and family-oriented restaurants. Verified award table on the CKG application: 80/20 match up to $125,000 for those two corridors. Owner and restaurant/food-prep operator file jointly. Application check $250.00. The District 8 Focus Area sheet discusses discretionary higher kitchen language in places; treat the CKG application PDF as the owner packet you download, and ask staff which document controls your award before you budget past $125,000.
Commercial Interior Renovation Grant (CIRG PDF). Interior improvements, restoration, permanently attached fixtures/systems, and related eligible costs. Verified Priority Area table: several corridors at 70/30 up to $40,000; Foster Road and NE 1st Ave at 80/20 up to $50,000; outside Priority Areas 60/40 up to $30,000. Owner is the applicant. $250.00 check. Same “do not start before approval / for-sale bar / five-year reapply screen” family of rules as façade.
Tenant Lease Surety / Rent Subsidy (TLS PDF). District 8 only (NE 1st Ave, Hallandale Beach Blvd to NE 5th St). Up to 35% of monthly rent for up to 12 months anytime during the first 18 months of operation on a multi-year lease; lease term at least two years; $250.00 check. This is attraction/occupancy money for new operations—not RRESG emergency past-due help and not CRSP construction mitigation.
Jobs, tax reimbursement, amenity, mural, signage, and forgivable business capital
Direct Cash / Job Creation (Economic Development Incentives PDF). HBCRA may pay up to $2,000 per new job, maximum $200,000, to companies relocating or expanding within the HBCRA. The same packet also describes QTI local-match participation. Application check $250.00; appointment required.
Property Tax Reimbursement. For substantial capital improvements or new construction on eligible commercial, multifamily, or mixed-use property in the CRA. Annual grant limits on taxes paid: Years 1–2 95%, Years 3–4 50%, Year 5 25%, for a maximum five-year run. Owner/developer is the applicant. $250.00 check.
Neighborhood Amenity Incentive. Qualified Retail path reimbursing City fees up to $15,000. $250.00 check.
Commercial Business Grant Program. Short-term forgivable loan not to exceed $200,000, forgiven 20% each year the applicant remains in business and keeps the intended use under the agreement. $250.00 check. Read this as expansion/attraction capital with multi-year compliance—not a façade reimbursement.
Signage (CSGP). CRA-wide curb-appeal sign help at 60/40 (owner/HBCRA); $100.00 check; complete within two months of approval; sign must remain with the property 24 months or repay HBCRA’s 40%.
Mural. CRA-wide artistic murals (not commercial narrative signage—those go to Planning and Zoning). District 8 priority. Proposals requesting over $25,000 require Board approval. $100.00 check; complete within two months of approval per process language.
District 8 streetscape twin (one paragraph, different job)
If your problem is active NE 1st Avenue streetscape construction—access, visibility, parking, foot traffic—and you can document roughly a 20% revenue decline versus the six months before construction, with an active BTR and doors open, read the Gazette’s already-live District 8 CRSP + CBALP construction-mitigation owner map. CRSP can cover up to 50% of rent (or owner-operator mortgage principal and interest) for up to 12 months; CBALP is a one-time forgivable loan up to $20,000 for operating costs, first-come. That is impact-phase survival capital. It is not a substitute for the FY25–26 façade, kitchen, film, or RRESG packets on this map—and you should ask staff whether any stacking or same-cost screens apply before you file both worlds.
Owner action checklist (this week)
- Confirm CRA / Priority Area geography. Match your address to the Priority Area list and District 8 boundaries with HBCRA staff.
- Pick the right track. Façade vs. interior vs. kitchen vs. RRESG vs. TLS vs. film vs. jobs vs. tax reimbursement—wrong PDF wastes the appointment.
- Call (954) 457-2228 and book. Say you are filing a FY2025–2026 commercial program packet. Ask which deadline controls your program if you are on RRESG.
- Download the current PDF. Prefer the November 2025 / March 2026 revisions linked from the hub—not an old phone PDF.
- Assemble match docs early. Lease (with required remaining term), owner authorization if you are a tenant, BTR, insurance, W-9, photos, three quotes where required, financials for rent programs, production budget for film.
- Budget the application check correctly. $250 on most commercial packets; $100 mural/signage; $75 film—payable as each checklist states. Do not invent a fee that is not on your PDF.
- Do not start work before approval. Pre-approval construction is an automatic out across these programs.
- File in person with hard copy + electronic copy. Incomplete packets wait.
- If you are on the dig corridor, open the Gazette twin in parallel so you do not miss CRSP/CBALP while chasing façade money.
What “good” looks like after approval
Good means: the Program Grant (or loan) Agreement and any required recorded documents are executed on the PDF timeline; you paid your match before expecting disbursement; permits and completion clocks in the agreement are real calendar items; you stay open where the program requires it; you do not treat Board approval as an entitlement; and you confirm any five-year reapply lock, sale/transfer repayment clause, or film credit/IMDb obligation before you cash the relationship.
These are redevelopment tools aimed at keeping Hallandale Beach’s commercial corridors competitive—storefronts that look open for business, restaurants that can hold a lease, kitchens that can cook at scale, and productions that actually spend locally. The stack is open now. The calendar and the fund balance will not wait for a perfect contractor estimate that never leaves your inbox.
