Housing Assistance provides affordable homes and financial literacy

Catholic Charities Housing, Inc., a corporation formed in 2004, was created to address the serious lack of affordable and safe housing in Southwest Florida. After the devastating 2004 hurricane season, the need for low-income housing became even more serious. Catholic Charities currently has projects being developed in Charlotte, DeSoto and Manatee counties.
