The Fort Lauderdale Commission wants consider various options for its new city hall building.
The Commission deferred the proposed interim agreement for the City Hall project to the June 2, 2026, meeting to allow for additional analysis. The Commission directed staff to evaluate alternative options, including whether existing buildings could be renovated, and to return with initial cost estimates, space programming considerations, comparative analysis, a finance and budgetary strategy, and other findings for further discussion
The Commission approved a $125,000 Not-for-Profit Service Agreement with HomesUnited Ministries, Inc. to provide shared housing and supportive mental health and substance abuse services for individuals experiencing homelessness. The agreement resumes services with enhanced safeguards, including required behavioral health assessments prior to placement, expanded daytime programming, and coordination with City outreach teams. The program is designed to help participants achieve stable housing and become more self-sufficient.
