Congratulations!!!
It truly was an honor working on a home with such a significant history.
“It’s a neat old home” Bill Lazar, executive director of the St. Johns Housing Partnership, said of the property, especially in light of its historical significance.
But, “it took a lot of creative stuff,” with a variety of volunteers joining in the effort and “working on the home on and off” during what Lazar estimated as a five-year period to refurbish portions of the house.
The partnership, he added, worked closely with the St. Johns County Housing Department. .

I remember being on that ramp build. So incredible what you all have done.
We are delighted to have such a great response to the exciting news that St. Johns Housing Partnership will have 12 new homes available in 2021.
We do want to clarify a few things so there's no confusion and we apologize for any disappointment that may have taken place.
In order to purchase a home, a minimum 640 credit score is needed. If a potential homeowner isn't there yet, our counselors offer the needed support to positively impact credit score and credit history.

Here are some photos of our latest sale to a first time homebuyer. This is a 3/2 sold to a young couple working in the hospitality industry with monthly payments around $1200 per month.
This home is a Florida Certified Green Home with a Silver Status by the Florida Green Building Coalition with utility bills projected to be less than $100 per month.
We have a dozen more affordable homes scheduled to be built. Lots at 925 Scheidel and 924 Avery were just cleared and the homes will be ready this summer.

You cannot be discouraged about buying home, no matter how hard it seems right now. The first thing to do, is evaluate your credit, which we can do. See what needs to be fixed, if anything, get on a budget, stick to it and keep your eye on the prize. I've seen people work for three years to get approved to buy their home.

This is so awesome! Thank you SJHP.
Where are these homes?

How exciting. Less than$200k for affordable housing. The first affordable home I built with the City of Tampa in 1990 (3/2 1100sf) was a shotgun house and sold for $49,900. Keep up the good work Bill Lazar and Company.
How much to build on private land?. Im looking for an affordable builder/home.
Gorgeous home! Affordable housing and you don’t have to compete with investors!
Affordable housing is everyone's business.
"Republican state legislative leaders recently introduced bills to divert about two-thirds of affordable housing funds raised annually from real estate documentary stamp taxes to environmental projects.
The money is normally targeted for the Sadowski Trust Fund for state and local affordable housing initiatives, but House Bill 5401 and Senate companion SPB 2512 would shuttle the money instead to address sea- level rise and wastewater infrastructure projects in the state."
