With hurricane season officially beginning on June 1, now is the perfect time to review your emergency preparedness plan.

At Catalonia Management, resident safety is our top priority. We encourage all residents to take a few simple steps before a storm approaches:

Hurricane Preparedness Checklist

✔ Store at least three days of water and non-perishable food
✔ Keep flashlights and extra batteries available
✔ Charge phones and portable power banks
✔ Review your renter’s insurance coverage
✔ Keep important documents in a waterproof container
✔ Make a plan for pets and family members

The Florida Division of Emergency Management is encouraging all Florida residents to prepare early rather than waiting until a storm is approaching.

South Florida temperatures are rising, and cooling costs can account for a significant portion of your monthly electric bill.

Here are a few simple ways to stay comfortable while reducing energy costs:

Energy-Saving Tips

  • Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when away from home
  • Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation
  • Keep blinds and curtains closed during the hottest hours
  • Avoid using ovens during the afternoon
  • Replace old light bulbs with LED bulbs
  • Keep AC filters clean
  • Seal gaps around doors and windows when possible

Small changes can make a noticeable difference throughout the summer months.

Coconut Grove has long been known for its lush tree canopy, walkable streets, and unique village atmosphere. In 2026, the neighborhood continues to strengthen its reputation as one of Miami’s most livable and environmentally conscious communities through ongoing investments in public spaces, pedestrian infrastructure, and sustainable mobility.

Several major community improvements are moving forward throughout the Grove, including enhancements to Kirk Munroe Park, improvements to Fuller Street, and continued investments in green public spaces designed to preserve the neighborhood’s character while improving accessibility and quality of life. These projects are helping create a more connected, pedestrian-friendly environment for residents and visitors alike.

Transportation options are also expanding. Coconut Grove recently introduced an all-electric, on-demand neighborhood shuttle service that connects residents to parks, restaurants, shopping, offices, waterfront destinations, and public transportation without relying on short car trips. The service reflects the neighborhood’s ongoing commitment to cleaner, more sustainable mobility solutions.

The Grove also benefits from its proximity to The Underline, Miami-Dade County’s transformative mobility corridor and linear park system, which continues expanding access to green space, bicycle infrastructure, walking paths, and public transit connections throughout Miami.

At Catalonia Management, we are proud to be part of a neighborhood that values community, walkability, and quality of life. Our properties are located near parks, local businesses, transit options, and the amenities that make Coconut Grove one of Miami’s most desirable places to live.

For residents seeking a balance between urban convenience, natural beauty, and a strong sense of community, Coconut Grove continues to set the standard. With ongoing investments in public spaces, mobility, and neighborhood improvements, the Grove remains one of Miami’s most vibrant and forward-looking communities.

Professional Property Management. Exceptional Service. Lasting Value.

Miami’s job market continues to thrive in 2025, offering stability and growth in sectors like healthcare, hospitality, trade, and construction. For renters, this means more economic confidence and the ability to make long-term housing decisions with greater peace of mind.

According to the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, job creation remains strong, especially in neighborhoods with direct access to major highways and public transit—areas like Hialeah, Little Havana, and Coconut Grove. This growth not only helps residents stay employed close to home but also contributes to more vibrant and resilient communities.

Catalonia Management is uniquely positioned to support this economic ecosystem. Our properties are strategically located near employment centers and transportation corridors, making commuting easy and living convenient. And with our commitment to fair pricing and professional management, our tenants can focus on building their careers without housing worries.

When jobs are strong, families thrive. And when housing is stable, communities flourish. Catalonia is proud to support Miami’s workforce with homes that work for them.

Miami’s rental culture is changing. More residents are choosing to stay in their homes longer, signaling a shift toward stability and deeper community roots. For property managers and tenants alike, this is a win-win.

Recent surveys show that middle-income renters are prioritizing long-term leases over short-term mobility. They’re looking for neighborhoods where they can build connections, trust their property managers, and feel confident in their monthly expenses. This trend is especially strong in areas like Coconut Grove, Little Havana, and Hialeah—communities known for their character and accessibility.

At Catalonia Management, long-term relationships are at the heart of what we do. Many of our tenants stay for years—not only because of our well-maintained units, but because we foster communication, transparency, and respect. We believe that housing is more than a transaction; it’s a partnership.

As Miami evolves, Catalonia continues to offer dependable housing that people can count on. And as more renters choose to put down roots, we’ll be right here to help them grow.

With the new reuptake of Covid-19 numbers in Florida, we have seen the re-emergence of fear and concern among our community regarding their daily activities. We hope you are staying healthy and safe. More than ever, we are committed to delivering the best service we can. We wanted to update you that our team is running remotely and on-site all the property management tasks.

Con el alza del número de contagios en Florida, hemos visto un aumento del temor y preocupación de nuestra comunidad en relación a sus actividades diarias. Esperamos que usted esté sano y seguro. Y ahora más que nunca, nuestro compromiso es entregar el mejor servicio posible. Y además, queremos asegurarle que nuestro equipo continúa realizando todas las actividades normales de administración de propiedades, en forma remota y en terreno.

North Miami offering $1 million for renters and $600K for businesses hurt by COVID-19

The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (NMCRA) has approved a $1 million rent relief package and $600,000 for small business owners impacted by the coronavirus epidemic.

The renters’ relief program will cover two months of rent for qualified residents who live within the NMCRA boundaries. Applicants must have resided in the city for a minimum of one year, show proof they have lost their jobs or been otherwise impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and provide their landlord’s information.

Paper applications are available at the Joe Celestin Center, 1525 NW 135th St. Online applicants can email cragrants@northmiamifl.gov.

Due to the anticipated demand, applicants will be chosen at random via lottery selection. Applications must be received by 2 p.m. May 29.

The NMCRA also added another $600,000 in relief money to its existing Emergency Relief to Jump Start Businesses fund. The one-time grant provides up to $5,000 for small business owners located within the NMCRA boundaries for future operational expenses such as payroll, utilities and rent.

To qualify, business owners must have been denied for federal and state SBA loans. The funds will be made available once the city is allowed to reopen, but eligible business owners can apply here or call 305-895-9839.

“During this time of crisis, the North Miami CRA is working tirelessly to offer both residents and businesses alike a reprieve on their financial burdens while they wait for other benefits to materialize,” said North Miami Mayor Philippe Bien-Aime, chairman of the North Miami CRA Board.

“We also understand that small businesses are the backbone of a thriving economy, so providing additional funding for our emergency commercial aid programs will allow even more North Miami businesses to be prepared for a quick recovery when the time comes.”

North Miami has a population of 62,308 and a median household income of $39,273.

Anuncian programa de ayuda para pagar la renta a los afectados por el coronavirus en Miami

De acuerdo con el alcalde Francis Suárez, la ciudad repartiría hasta $1,500 por individuo o familia, que también pueden ser utilizados para gastos básicos como la luz y el teléfono.

Revise si aplica y los requisitos en el siguiente formulario

El alcalde de la ciudad de Miami, Francis Suárez, anunció el viernes un programa de asistencia financiera de $2,2 millones para residentes afectados por el coronavirus que no puedan pagar la renta, y cumplan con ciertos requisitos.

La ciudad repartirá hasta $1,500 por individuo o familia con el fin de que sean utilizados para pagar la renta o gastos básicos como luz o teléfono.

“Las personas tienen que vivir en la ciudad de Miami, ganar menos del 60% del promedio de ingresos en el área ($38,400 o menos, al año) y demostrar que perdieron su trabajo por el covid-19”, dijo Suárez.

Las aplicaciones se abrirán a partir del 4 de mayo y habrá una página web (que será anunciada) para el programa. También se habilitará una oficina donde las personas pueden adquirir las planillas en papel.

De acuerdo con el alcalde, las personas podrán recibir el dinero tan pronto como el 14 de mayo, para que no se retrasen en el pago de ese mes.

La idea de la ciudad es entregar la ayuda hasta que se acabe el dinero y los primeros que apliquen serán los primeros beneficiados.

El programa, para ayudar a las personas que se han visto afectadas por la pandemia del coronavirus, debe ser aprobado por la comisión de Miami en una cesión especial el próximo jueves.
