Jane
Hindall, HCD Program Manager, Neighborhood Development Services,
has been with the City since 1995. She handles numerous projects
and is always willing to step forward to take on additional
responsibilities.
Recently, the City of Sarasota and Sarasota County, through
the Office of Housing and Community Development, received
a $23 million grant from the federal government for neighborhood
stabilization programs, which will includes the construction
of Janie’s Garden Phase III. Sarasota is just one of
the 56 organizations in the nation to be awarded one of the
competitive grants.
Jane’s determination and work ethic helped to bring
in $7 million in grant funds for the acquisition of up to
70 homes that are being rehabbed and then sold to low income
buyers for their housing needs.
This program is extremely technical and involves communication
with 8 non-profit partners as well as ironing out all the
legal and technical details for upgrading those properties.
The efforts to put the grant moneys into action is way out
of Jane’s normal work area and she has handled the unexpected
situations and many hours like a pro! Jane Hindall not only
serves as a City of Sarasota employee, but overlaps resources
and projects with Sarasota County. She is an excellent employee
who exhibits total professionalism all the way around.
Congratulations!
