Affordable housing & homeownership support.

The St. Lucie County Housing Division administers state and federal housing programs that preserve and expand affordable housing for low and moderate income households. The division helps income eligible residents buy a home and helps existing homeowners with rehabilitation that improves safety, accessibility, and long term stability. Working with state and federal agencies, nonprofits, and local partners, the Housing Division strengthens neighborhoods, supports homeownership, and expands housing options across the county.

The division's programs are funded through state and federal sources, including the Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. Housing rehabilitation assistance helps income eligible homeowners in unincorporated St. Lucie County pay for repairs that address health, safety, and code concerns, such as roof, heating and cooling, and septic system work. Funding is limited, and applications open during set periods, so residents should check program pages for current dates and eligibility.

The division also supports fair housing across the county. The federal Fair Housing Act and the county's local Fair Housing Ordinance protect residents from housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, and familial status. Residents who want to learn their rights, file a complaint, or explore county housing data can start with the resources below.
