SUMMARY:
In support of the affordable housing goals identified in the CRA redevelopment plans, Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes and as approved in the 2022 CRA Work Plan, the CRA will provide affordable housing assistance pursuant to the City of Pensacola Attainable Housing Infill Program.
Surplus CRA-owned lots will be provided to income-qualified homebuyers at no cost along with an affordability requirement. This subsidy will aid in reducing the price of the homes sold under the Attainable Housing Infill Program. In accordance with Chapter 163, Part III, Florida Statutes, disposition of CRA property under market value, may only occur after a public hearing held by City Council. The public hearing and approval for disposition items are anticipated to be brought forth to the August City Council meeting.
Development and sale of these lots will adhere to the terms, policies and procedures of the City of Pensacola Attainable Housing Infill Program.
