Grant Announcement

Catholic Charities of Central Florida was awarded $6 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funding for Osceola County to construct affordable housing for the elderly. JPH & Associates assisted in preparing the funding application and will coordinate contract management through initial occupancy.

The project will be located in St. Cloud, Florida and will consist of 51 one and two-bedroom units. The site is a townhouse platted development in which only four townhouse units were constructed before the developer declared bankruptcy. Catholic Charities will utilize NSP funding from Osceola County to construct a series of one-story villas and centralized community center. Catholic Charities will be working with local service providers to coordinate important support services for the residents to enable residents to age in place. Residents will pay no more than 30 percent of their adjusted gross income for rent plus utilities. Twenty units will be set aside for residents whose household income is defined as “very low”, and the remaining units will be set aside for residents whose household income is defined as moderate. Construction is projected to in 2010 with occupancy occurring in late 2011.
