With financing from Florida Community Loan Fund, CSF purchased properties scattered across Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando Counties, providing a total of 60 affordable rental homes for low-income and formerly homeless families. The neighborhoods will benefit from improved stability as formerly homeless individuals obtain permanent housing. CSF offers a variety of services for its residents, including financial and homebuyer education, crime prevention strategies and activities, mentoring and referrals to partner agencies. In 2020 FCLF also provided emergency working capital as part of its COVID-19 relief financing. FCLF provided additional financing for hurricane repairs in 2024.
With financing from Florida Community Loan Fund, PERC has purchased and will renovate a motel into 66 program housing units, to offer transitional services to a total of 132 residents. The motel’s former banquet and meeting areas will be converted to classroom and office space, providing on-site classes and counseling sessions designed to aid residents’ transition to society, and offering the convenience of having these classes in the same location as housing.
With 39 loans from FCLF between 1998 and 2017, totaling $7.3 million, the Transition House has acquired and/or renovated several homes and facilities in Osceola, Lake, and Seminole Counties, and repaired damages caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017.
