Florida home partnership
The Self-help homeownership concept began. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been funding mutual self-help housing since the early 1960s. The program mirrors the “barn raisings” of the Quakers, with neighbors helping neighbors to build their homes together. No construction experience is necessary as Florida Home Partnership provides the guidance and the tools. Determination and hard work build equity in the new home. This program is ideal for those desiring homeownership but having limited resources. Florida Home Partnership (FHP), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) and a certified Community Development Corporation (CDC). An equal housing opportunity provider and employer, FHP was founded in under the name Homes for Hillsborough, Inc., the late Dorothy Duke (October 6, April 4, 2000), our founder, championed the effort to bring the USDA Mutual Self- Help Housing Program to Hillsborough County in an effort to provide affordable housing for primarily for migrant farm working families.
