Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Delivers $1 Million in Federal Funding for the Eagle Cove Residence at Lauderhill

SUNRISE, FL- Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick joined Faith Center Ministries to announce $1 million in critical Community Project Funding (CPF) for the Eagle Cove Residence at Lauderhill.

"With this federal funding that I helped deliver, we're simultaneously laying a foundation for economic opportunity in Lauderhill and empowering the next generation for long-term success," said Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL). "Access to housing and higher education are integral to helping more Floridians realize the American Dream. I want to thank the Faith Center for its partnership on this community project and for being a good steward of opportunity."

"I want to thank Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for securing these funds for the University of Fort Lauderdale," said Faith Center Ministries Bishop Henry B. Fernandez. "One of our issues in the past has been housing. We are blessed to receive."

This funding will be used to provide affordable housing and mixed-use property in Lauderhill - a total of 195 units of one- and two-bedroom apartments for residents. The funding will also be used to develop 8,500 square feet for housing the fully accredited University of Fort Lauderdale.

The funding for the Eagle Cove Residence at Lauderhill was included in Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick's CPF requests for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. The requests delivered over $14.4 million in critical resources for Florida's 20th Congressional District to address the district's most pressing needs.
