HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM

This Program, also known as Section 8, is designed to allow flexibility and mobility to low income families in their housing choices within the city limits of Clearwater. Participants pay only a portion of the rent, based on income. The balance is then guaranteed to the owner from Clearwater Housing Authority.


PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT OUR HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER AND PUBLIC HOUSING WAITING LISTS ARE  CURRENTLY CLOSED.

At CHA we bring opportunities for affordable housing and self-sufficiency. All you have to bring is yourself and your commitment.



The CHA public housing program provides federally subsidized rental properties. Residents pay only a portion of the rent based on income.

PARKVIEW VILLAGE

Parkview Village will be a new neighborhood incorporating a commercial component, rental apartments and a homeownership component as well.  Its design will include many eco- friendly elements and will be a beautiful neighborhood to call home.  Currently, in its predevelopment stage, this new community will be built on approximately 40 acres conveniently located on the South East end of Drew Street and Bayview Avenue, in beautiful Clearwater, Florida. Predevelopment work will continue for Parkview Village throughout 2009; due to the complexity of the market and project, predevelopment work will be focused on financing, engineering, and infrastructure issues.   We do not expect to begin building vertically on this site in 2009.  The site is currently under lease to Florida Gas.
