The Housing Division of Charlotte County Human Services administers the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program and other funds available for affordable housing initiatives. Its housing efforts are accomplished by developing partnerships with local lenders, nonprofit organizations and affordable housing developers.  The Division serves as Charlotte County’s housing liaison with the State of Florida and other state and federal housing advocates. SHIP programs are administered, under contract, by the Charlotte County Housing Corporation.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) is a federal program passed by Congress in July 2008. Charlotte County will receive funds indirectly through the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The application was presented at the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioner for approval and the grant was awarded. The Grant Agreement was received and presented to the Board of County Commissioners on 8/25/1009 and approved for execution and returned to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for their execution. Charlotte County is now waiting for the receipt of the executed grant agreement from Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

The Housing Division launched a Neighborhood Revitalization Program in 2006 to improve the quality of life in specified areas.  Housing and community resources are utilized to enhance and promote the goals and efforts of area residents.

Housing Services is responsible for the oversight of the enforcement of federal and state fair housing laws. If you have a complaint, please contact the office. More information or to file a formal complaint resulting from these laws you may access them at www.hud.gov.
