The SHIP has SUNK!

Housing Update April 20, 2010 for Pasco County, Florida  (Pasco County Community Development)

 

Since 1993, the State of Florida has funded the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program.  This program has helped thousands of families become homeowner's, fix homes, save families from foreclosure, and pay taxes and insurance for the elderly in Pasco County.  The budget about to be approved for the Legislature has NO funding for SHIP.  Most of the documentary stamps collected for housing have been re-allocated to other programs, and what was left was given to the State for down payment assistance for it's own bond program.  Because of the loss of SHIP the following programs have been terminated: 

  • Foreclosure Prevention
  • Tax and Insurance Payment Program
  • Housing Replacement Program
  • Pasco Fix!

 

We have been adding an additional $10,000 to recipents of the Florida Homebuyer Opportunity Program (FHOP).   That will end May 1, 2010.  We also have a $3,000 in down payment assistance to everyone.  That will end also.
