The Broward Housing Council convened on December 6, 2024, to discuss significant developments in local housing projects, particularly focusing on the progress of Kinetic Lifestyle Homes and the Housing Foundation of America. The meeting highlighted the selection of these two developers, which aimed to showcase local talent and foster a friendly competitive environment in the housing sector.

The first agenda item addressed the groundbreaking of Kinetic Lifestyle Homes, which took place on February 27. The project has seen rapid progress, with construction completed within five months, thanks in part to expedited permitting processes facilitated by the city’s building department. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on November 11 to welcome new homeowners, marking a successful milestone for the development.

Following this, the council reviewed the Housing Foundation of America’s project, which began construction on June 28. As of the meeting date, three homes were nearing completion, with an expected certificate of occupancy within the next 30 to 60 days. The council emphasized the importance of constructing homes side by side to enhance community impact.

Kim Cox, president of Kinetic Lifestyle Homes, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work on these projects, highlighting the dedication and passion of her team. She noted that their approach aimed to create homes that not only met affordable housing needs but also reflected quality and aesthetic appeal.

Michael Rhett from Alco Construction, a key partner in the project, shared his background and commitment to the community. He emphasized the goal of providing homes that would appeal to a broader market, showcasing what can be achieved through local collaboration.

The meeting concluded with a positive outlook on the ongoing housing initiatives, reinforcing the council's commitment to enhancing the community through effective housing solutions. Future updates on the projects are anticipated as they progress towards completion.
