2023 Homes for Pinellas Summit
On April 28, local governments in the Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact launched the new Housing Action Plan during the 2023 Homes for Pinellas Summit.
We need the people who make Pinellas County work!
Teachers, medical assistants, skilled laborers, hospitality employees – many of our longtime neighbors can no longer afford to call this community home. That’s why the local governments in the Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact have developed the Housing Action Plan: to create more housing choices for people at all income levels. Together, we’ve brought thousands of new homes to Pinellas in recent years, but that’s only a start.
Learn how you can support the Action Plan and Be Part of the Solution.
SUPPORTING AFFORDABLE DEVELOPMENT
The County and local municipalities have committed more than $100 million in local dollars over the next decade to support development of safe, quality homes for people at all income levels. We work every day with developers to bring affordability to the market through direct financial support, land, and other incentives. We’re looking for a variety of applicants, including developers who specialize in affordable housing and those who traditionally build market-rate developments. Learn more.

What does “affordable” really mean?
Affordability simply means paying a reasonable amount of your income for housing (30% or less) that allows you to pay for other essentials, like food, transportation and healthcare. We’re working to create more affordability through developments that rent or sell to those who earn below median income and those who make a modest living but still struggle to pay for necessities and also by bringing more housing choices to the market.
Here’s what having a home they can afford means to our neighbors:
