The City of Homestead is proud to announce the launch of a new online portal designed to streamline the process of submitting and managing public records requests. The portal, powered by JustFOIA, offers residents and businesses an easy-to-use platform to access public records at their convenience.
With the new portal, users can submit requests for public records, track the progress of their requests, make online payments if required, and receive documents digitally, all in one place. The system is designed to improve transparency, reduce wait times, and make it easier for the community to obtain the information they need.
"This new portal is a big step forward in our efforts to provide more efficient and accessible services to our residents," said City Clerk, Elizabeth Sewell. "We’re excited to offer this modernized system, which will improve how we manage and respond to public records requests."
City Manager Zerry Ihekwaba emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "This transition to a digital platform is a key innovation initiative to advance the City of Homestead. By embracing technology, we are enhancing the way we serve our community, making government operations more efficient and accessible to all."
The platform provides a user-friendly interface, helping requesters easily navigate through the process and receive updates on their submissions. Additionally, it enhances the City’s ability to handle requests more efficiently, reducing paperwork and increasing the overall speed of processing.
