Highlighted in the Florida Housing Coalition’s latest Journal was the preservation of Norton Apartments, 84 homes for extremely low income families in Pinellas County, and Mayfair Village, 83 apartments for extremely low income and homeless families in Jacksonville. At this workshop you will hear from the authors and key partners in these success stories. Preservation of project-based properties is a priority for the Florida Housing Coalition; these are properties serving Florida’s most vulnerable populations with ongoing rent subsidy from the federal government. Florida is in imminent danger of losing much of this critically needed housing stock unless new owners acquire and rehabilitate these properties to avoid losing project-based assistance because of poor property conditions. Hear from people who successfully undertook the challenge and consider taking the challenge in your community. The Florida Housing Coalition and its partners will be there to help you.
