Celebrating the Laboy Martinez Family in Lake Worth Beach

Palm Beach County’s Department of Housing and Economic Development is proud to celebrate the Laboy Martinez family as they move one step closer to homeownership through Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County. As part of our local workforce — with Jose Laboy serving in the Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation Department — this milestone reflects the impact of community partnerships that help our employees and residents thrive.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, the future homeowner shared: “I am very grateful for this opportunity and especially thankful to all of the partners for their time, donations, and efforts. I am happy to be a part of the great partnership between Adopt a Family, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Palm Beach County, Lake Worth Beach CRA, and Palm Beach County and all the support they have provided.”

This home represents more than a foundation — it represents stability, opportunity, and the strength of collaboration across our county. Congratulations to the Laboy Martinez family on this exciting new chapter.

National Social Media Day

Social media isn’t just a place to connect, it’s one of the most powerful tools small businesses and residents can use to access opportunities, stay informed, and strengthen our community.

For small businesses, social media is a game changer. It helps you:
• Showcase your services and products to a wider audience
• Build trust and credibility through consistent storytelling
• Connect with customers in real time
• Learn about grants, workshops, and programs that support business growth

For Palm Beach County residents, social media is a direct line to resources that can make a real difference. Through the Department of Housing and Economic Development, you can discover:
• Housing assistance programs
• Small business support and funding opportunities
• Community development initiatives
• Training, workshops, and events designed to help you thrive

When we use social media responsibly, by sharing accurate information, engaging respectfully, and staying connected to trusted sources, it becomes a powerful tool for empowerment.

Today is a reminder that social media can help us learn, grow, and access the resources that move Palm Beach County forward. Let’s use it wisely, intentionally, and in ways that uplift our community.

Palm Beach County is celebrating a major milestone during National Homeownership Month, Mary Fonner officially closed on her new home on June 24, becoming the very first homeowner to benefit from the County’s new $2 million Homebuyer Match Pilot Program. Launched by the Board of County Commissioners and administered by the Department of Housing & Economic Development, the program provides up to $50,000 in matching assistance to help workforce families overcome financial barriers to homeownership.

Ms. Fonner's closing marks the beginning of a new chapter not only for her family, but for other residents who applied for are selected in through lottery rounds. This is the start of a new chapter for local families and reflects the County’s commitment to moving quickly from policy to impact. Congratulations to Mary Fonner, the program’s first success story, and to all the future homeowners who will follow.
