A program aimed at addressing the lack of access to affordable homeownership in Pinellas and Pasco counties is in line to receive $3 million in the 2024-25 fiscal year budget after the House and Senate agreed on identical funding requests for the program, according to a budget offer.
Sen. Ed Hooper and Rep. Kim Berfield filed appropriations requests seeking $3 million for three subdivisions, infrastructure for residential infill projects and land acquisition. The funding would support 105 affordable homes across the two counties, and infrastructure, architectural services, civil engineering and other costs.
The funding would benefit Habitat for Humanity projects.
