Commissioner Morey Wright launches TEED program to provide monthly financial relief for Tamarac District 2 residents
Tamarac, Florida – Commissioner Morey Wright is starting a new project to help people in Tamarac’s District 2 deal with financial pressures. The Tamarac Economic Empowerment Dividend, or TEED, is a monthly program that helps families that qualify by giving them a small but constant amount of money to help with basic living expenses. The program is set up to last for six months and is fully funded by district resources that come from developer payments. This means that taxpayer money is not needed to run the program.
The program started taking applications on November 17, 2025, and will keep doing so until December 31, 2025. Because there isn’t much money available, each application will be looked at in the order it was received. This will make those who could need the help feel like they need to act quickly. Wright has said that the purpose is to make sure that local development benefits community members directly and in a way that matters, especially those who are having trouble with financial difficulties.
To be eligible, applicants must live in District 2 and have a steady income. The concept is based on simple paperwork requirements to make it easy for everyone to use. People will need to show a valid photo ID, proof of income, and documents showing that their address is in District 2. Once accepted, eligible residents will get monthly payments for the whole six-month term. This money can be utilized to help with everyday costs.
You can download or fill out applications on a laptop or desktop computer. People who want paper copies can get them at City Hall. Also, people can get help with forms or ask questions in person by making an appointment.
Commissioner Wright has said that the initiative is a direct investment in the people who live in the district, making sure that local growth reaches the people who need it the most. The concept sends the advantages of new construction and community growth back to the neighborhoods that are experiencing it by using developer contributions instead of taxpayer money.
As costs go up, families on fixed incomes are feeling the pinch again. The six-month payout is a short-term but significant boost. City authorities advise residents to get their paperwork ready and apply as soon as the application process opens.
