Awards of Excellence: AFFORDABLE HOUSING

摘要

The development of Cedar Pointe was made possible through a partnership and collaboration between the Tampa Housing Authority (THA) and the Hillsborough County Affordable Housing Department (HCAHD). HCAHD received Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds, which were utilized partially to acquire a blighted, foreclosed, 76-unit multi-family property originally known as Cedar Pointe. After the acquisition of the property, the County voted in favor of operating a funding agreement with THA. Through its Affordable Housing Services Department, ownership of the property was transferred to THA on August 30, 2010, which allowed THA to effectively rehabilitate the development utilizing a portion of the $19 million NSP grant.
