District 5 Retail Relief Program

Commissioner Higgins is launching the District 5 Retail Relief Program in place of the 2020 Mom and Pop Program. The goal of this program is to provide $1,000 grants to be used only for rent or mortgage payments of commercial spaces. Business owners must provide proof of rent payment in order to receive the $1,000 grant as a reimbursement. The District 5 Retail Relief Program aims to help decrease the business owners’ expenses and ensure they can focus any other funds towards payroll, staffing, and the other re-opening costs. District 5 understands that all businesses, essential and nonessential, have been impacted by COVID-19. The district comprises portions of the City of Miami Beach, City of Miami and the unincorporated area of Fisher Island. This encompasses Downtown; parts of Brickell; Brickell Key; The Roads; Shenandoah; Little Havana; Grapeland; all of South Beach; parts of Mid and North Beach; Hibiscus, Palm, and Star Islands.
