SUBJECT: 2025 Application Period for the Fight the Flood Private Property Adaptation Program
I am pleased to announce the opening of the 2025 application period for the Fight the Flood
Private Property Adaptation Program (PPA). Thanks to the leadership of the Mayor and City
Commission, this innovative program for residents and businesses incentivizes resilience action
and investment by providing guidance and funding for flood mitigation improvements.
The Fight the Flood Private Property Adaptation Program (PPA) is a competitive, matching and
reimbursement-based grant. Up to $20,000 may be granted for the full scope of work, including
the $2,500 value of the assessment report and up to $17,500 in matching funds for the design
and construction of flood mitigation project( s ). If the applicant qualifies as low-to-moderate income
(LMI), the PPA funds the entirety of the project, up to $17,500, without the funding match
requirement. The program will be widely communicated through city engagement channels.
The program currently has 58 participating properties from two cohorts who are in different project
stages, from developing their grant agreements, to conducting their projects, to finalizing
documentation for final reimbursement. Projects include but are not limited to building elevation
and floodproofing, electrical life safety and mechanical flood protection, temporary flood barriers,
wet floodproofing, flood resistant materials, drainage, permeable pavers, rain gardens and
seawalls.
