Homes for Independence has affordable rentals at multiple locations located throughout Pinellas County / Saint Petersburg.
Homes for Independence, Inc. was formed in 1995 as the housing division of ServiceSource. The program’s primary focus is to provide affordable, accessible and safe housing for persons with low incomes and/or disabilities. Inclusion is the cornerstone of all our housing programs—integration into established condominium communities with easy access to shopping and transportation.
The program serves individuals with disabilities and their family members through affordable rentals in Pinellas, Polk and Brevard Counties in Florida, and Cumberland County, North Carolina. Rental units are scattered throughout 31 different condominium complexes.
This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.
