Housing & Community Services Department
The Mission of the Housing and Community Services Department is to assist the citizens of St. Lucie County toward self-sufficiency in a dignified and cost effective manner.
The Housing and Community Services Department is comprised of the following divisions:
The Social Services Division assists county residents through distribution of funds and resources to eligible applications in accordance with our mission statement. They also work with the National Association of Counties to provide a discount drug card for uninsured and underinsured residents.
The Housing Division administers the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) program, the HOME Investment Partnership Program, the Community Development Block Grant 2005 Disaster Recovery Iniative, the CDBG DRI Supplemental Program and the Small Cities CDBG Program.. It also manages the County's Housing Disaster Plan.

The second home of the "reading room" was in the Cobb Building at the foot of Avenue A in Fort Pierce. Read more....
