The St. Johns Housing Partnership has a 22-member housing team of highly trained, well qualified, dedicated individuals. We are steadfastly committed to serving the housing needs of North Florida's most deserving citizens. In addition to housing rehabilitation and new construction development, SJHP offers HUD approved housing counseling services that include first time homebuyer education, financial/credit counseling, and foreclosure prevention counseling. The St. Johns Housing Partnership is committed to promoting safe, decent and affordable housing in north Florida.
This program provides home repair services to single-family homeowners in need of assistance through a combination of staff, subcontracting, self-help, and volunteers from local businesses and social service agencies. Community participation helps reduce program costs. Volunteer recruitment and supervision is an ongoing aspect of the program. The SJHP has a policy of cooperating with any volunteer group to maximize impact and leverage additional resources whenever possible. SJHP buys houses in targeted communities whose viability has been and continues to be damaged by the economic effects of properties that have been foreclosed upon or abandoned.

St. Johns Housing Partnership’s Housing Counseling Agency recently had their HUD audit and it was a great success!
