BREAKING BARRIERS: KIM FLAHERTY IS FLORIDA’S ONLY WOMAN MASTER CODE ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL

The Transform386 Homeowner Recovery Program will host an in-person application intake event.
The City of Daytona Beach proudly celebrates Kim Flaherty, who has earned certification as a Master Code Enforcement Professional (MCEP) from the State of Florida.
Thursday, Oct. 2, from 4 to 7 p.m. Daytona Beach Regional Library 105 Jackie Robinson Parkway
County staff will be available to answer questions, review documentation and assist applicants step by step. The goal is to ensure every eligible resident has the necessary support to complete the application successfully. The program provides funding to repair or replace homes damaged by Hurricanes Ian and Milton. Under the Milton allocation, two new options are available: Voluntary Buyout, which helps families relocate with fair compensation, and Match, which provides financial support for state or federal grants to strengthen homes. Residents can review eligibility and apply anytime at www.transform386.org .
Kim is one of only three people statewide to hold the designation and the only woman with this elite certification. A Volusia County native, Kim joined the city in 2017 after more than 20 years as a paralegal and real estate closing agent. As Permits & Licensing Project Manager, she embraced the city’s professional development program, which encourages advanced training and certifications. While helping manage Daytona Beach’s building boom, she completed the rigorous requirements for this certification. Please join us in congratulating Kim on this outstanding achievement.
