After recent hurricanes, Pinellas County introduced homebuyer assistance that may help eligible storm-impacted renters move toward ownership.

After recent hurricanes, many renters in Pinellas County faced rising rents and fewer affordable options.
Pinellas County responded with a homebuyer assistance program offering up to $80,000 to eligible storm-impacted renters.
This assistance may help cover:
Down payment
Closing costs
Mortgage support
If you qualify and remain in the home for the required period, the assistance may be forgiven according to program rules.
Because funding is limited and processed in order received, early awareness matters.
If you lived in Pinellas during the hurricanes and want to explore whether you qualify, contact Capstone Realty & Associates.
