Tallahassee city and county leaders broke ground on a 17-home Community Land Trust development in the South City neighborhood, targeting income-eligible families, seniors, and veterans.
Tallahassee city and county leaders broke ground on a new Community Land Trust development on Wallis Street in the South City neighborhood on Friday, unveiling a project they say will expand affordable homeownership opportunities for families, seniors, and veterans in south Tallahassee.
The City of Tallahassee donated the land for the project. Funding comes from several sources, including Leon County’s State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program, the city’s HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and Community Redevelopment Agency funding.
Leon County Commissioner Christian Caban said collaboration between governments, nonprofits, and contractors is essential to addressing the area’s housing needs.
