The median home price in the Tampa Bay area is $239,000.1 A person would need to earn nearly $80,000 a year to afford that mortgage. Can your employees afford to live here?

We can help.
St. Petersburg Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization created in 1980. As a member of the Congressionally-chartered NeighborWorks® network, we are certified to meet a high standard of fiscal integrity and services. We are also certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide a full spectrum of housing services.

Through the NeighborWorks® HomeOwnership Center and Full-Cycle Lending Service delivery model, SPNHS uses an innovative approach to providing, in one physical location, all the services and training that customers need to shop for, purchase, rehabilitate, insure, and maintain a home.

Our customers include renters and first-time homebuyers as well as homeowners in need of affordable financing for renovation and repairs. We assist new homeowners to get the most from their homes through post-purchase training.

We help families keep their homes through one-on-one counseling in foreclosure prevention. We also develop homes to provide affordable and sustainable rental and homeownership housing opportunities for our community’s hard-working families.

How can we help you?
As an employer, you must recruit and retain the best employees. Let’s face it, you can’t afford to pay all of your employees the $80,000 a year they would need to afford the median home here in Tampa Bay.  But we have access to resources to make buying a home a reality.

Through our education and counseling services and our loan products, we can help your employees to invest in their communities through homeownership. And you can invest in your employees. We’ll be glad to provide you with information on our services that you can distribute to your employees.

Better yet, call us to schedule a presentation for your employees at your workplace. Would you like to do more to provide housing to your employees to make your company (and your community) more economically competitive? Let’s talk about how we can work together.
