Housing counseling

Buying a first home, working on credit, or behind on a mortgage — a HUD-certified counselor helps you sort out what comes next.

Development & partnerships

Partners have a door of their own.

Every path above is one organization — Florida Non-Profit Housing, at work in rural Central Florida since 1978.

Looking through a doorway-shaped opening at a self-help house: a covered porch, posts and a front door on a newly graded lot.

Our mission

To ensure the availability of suitable housing for low to moderate-income families and farmworkers in rural communities.

Every FNPH photograph on this page is a documentary frame from FNPH’s own image set, captioned with its source. Where FNPH has no photograph, the page says so: a labelleddirection frame for a place, or an empty slotheld open for a moment. No stock, and no generated family.
