STUART — Voters deciding this year’s race for the Stuart City Commission Group II seat will choose between a political newcomer promising fresh ideas and an incumbent with some 20 years of commission experience.

Jeffrey Callahan, a Martin County marine safety officer/emergency medical technician entered the political arena this year to challenge incumbent Jeffrey Krauskopf, who will be seeking his 13th term as a city commissioner.

Housing help: $4 million boost for those who need affordable homes in Martin, Palm Beach counties

Those who need affordable housing just got an early, if indirect, Christmas gift — $4 million of new loan money that will be made available to housing providers by the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties.

The foundation announced the initiative at the Florida Housing Coalition’s statewide affordable housing conference in Orlando earlier this week. Utilizing a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Community Foundation made the $4 million low-interest loan to the Florida Community Loan Fund, which will invest it in a new $25 million Affordable Housing Preservation Loan Pool Demonstration Program. Other affordable rental housing projects in Martin and Palm Beach counties also will be supported.

Local non-profit leaders hailed the program but said they would need more information before they apply for the money.
